When you give to Literacy Services you change lives!
When adults struggle with literacy they struggle with so many other aspects of life. It’s hard to sustain a job or earn enough to cover basic living expenses, it is difficult to support a child’s education, and it’s hard to do just about everything from reading bills to understanding leases, to following a prescription.
Literacy Services is here to partner with adults in our community who face these struggles every day. Through our basic literacy tutoring and instruction, English Language Learning, high school equivalency diploma and GED programs, and workforce training classes, adults set goals and work towards them. They grow, learn, and improve their skills
