Literacy is Opportunity

 

The Literacy Challenge

Low literacy impacts every part of a person’s life. It contributes to the equity gap our communities face as well as intergenerational cycles of poverty. Some of the literacy challenges we face are:

More than 43 million adults in the United States read, write, or do basic math at a third-grade level.

82% of children whose parents have no high school diploma are likely to live in poverty.

47% of immigrants ages 5 and older had limited English speaking proficiency in 2018.

Our Solution

When individuals 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!
