Celebrating a Week of Opportunity: National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week

This week, from September 15th to the 21st, we're celebrating something that has the power to change lives, open doors, and build stronger communities: National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week.

The purpose of this week isn’t just to highlight a cause; it's to recognize the incredible courage of millions of adults who are working to improve their reading, writing, and math skills. In the U.S. alone, 43 million adults struggle with low literacy. This isn't just about reading a book; it's about confidently filling out a job application, understanding a doctor's instructions, helping a child with their homework, or passing a driver’s test.

This week is a reminder that the opportunity to learn shouldn't stop after high school. For countless adults, a return to the classroom can be a crucial step toward achieving their dreams. Through free, one-on-one tutoring and flexible programs, organizations like ours provide the support needed to unlock new possibilities.

Adult literacy is a powerful engine for change, and its benefits create a ripple effect that touches us all. When an adult gains new skills, they earn higher wages, feel more confident in their communities, and become more engaged citizens. That's a win for everyone.

So this week, we invite you to join us in a shared mission. Whether you’re an adult ready to take the first step, a community member eager to volunteer, or a supporter ready to help, your involvement makes a real difference.
