I support a Central Texas community that is

100% literate, Employable, and self-sufficient.

 

 

Literacy is opportunity!

Low literacy impacts every part of social life. When adults learn how to read, write, do basic math, improve their English skills, and learn how to use computers, they gain the power to lift themselves out of poverty, find sustainable employment, and help their children succeed in school.

Literacy changes lives! 

Every dollar you invest helps us create a bridge to opportunity for adults and children through Adult Education, Career Development Education, and Family Education
