"It's never too late", it's Gina Solomon's motto. After taking a decade to finish her post-secondary education degree, she decided to join the U.S. Peace Corp where she served as a teacher volunteer in Kyrgyzstan for two years. That experienced changed her life and career goals.
Today she's the Executive Director for the Adult Literacy League. In this podcast, Gina shares her journey into finishing her degree, what it was like to volunteer for the U.S. Peace Corps and multiple stories on how how literacy affects more than just reading and writing and the difference it can make in someone's life.
