English in Action was created in 1994 when the Basalt Regional Library launched its Adult Literacy Program - committed to fostering a diverse community. In 2008, the initiative became a fully independent non-profit organization known today as English in Action.

Executive Director Lara Beaulieu discusses the organization's history and importance in the Roaring Fork Valley.

English in Action is always looking for volunteer tutors - you do not need to be bilingual to be an effective tutor. Learn more about volunteering HERE, and visit www.englishinaction.org to find out more about the organization.
