Updated: Apr 30, 2024


Low literacy levels in adults aren't just a personal struggle – they have a ripple effect impacting our entire community. Studies show a connection between low adult literacy and:

  • Children's Academic Success: Parents with strong literacy skills are better equipped to support their children's education.

  • Social Costs: Low literacy can lead to higher welfare dependence, healthcare costs, and even crime rates.

  • Employment Opportunities: Strong literacy skills are crucial for success in today's job market.

The Power of Adult Education:

The good news? This problem has a solution - adult literacy programs! Organizations like the Literacy Coalition are dedicated to:

  • Reaching Every Learner: We take pride in teaching adults who may have faced challenges with traditional education.

  • Breaking Barriers: We offer resources and support to help adults overcome obstacles and achieve their literacy goals.

Join Us in Making a Difference:

The Literacy Coalition can't do this alone. We're looking for passionate individuals who want to be part of the solution. Here's how you can help:

  • Volunteer your time: Share your skills and knowledge to support our adult learners.

  • Make a donation: Your financial contribution allows us to continue providing vital educational programs.

  • Become a monthly donor: Reliable, ongoing support allows us to plan for the future and make a lasting impact.

Together, we can empower adults with the literacy skills they need to succeed and build a stronger community for all.
