Literacy has the power to reduce crime, unemployment rates, discrimination, injustice, and dependence on public assistance. The men and women who gather their courage and come to us desperately want to learn and are willing to commit to long hours studying each week.
We depend on the generosity of your tax-deductible gift to provide the support and instruction our students need to succeed.
Your gift will change lives through literacy.
Gifts for our tutoring program help men and women build a better life. Your financial investment supports their hard work to learn literacy skills that many of us take for granted: fill out a job application, improve employment skills, open a bank account, register to vote, use a computer, read to their children, or earn their GED.
Gifts to our family literacy program provide books and other literacy materials for pre-school age children living in poverty. Your gift trains parents to be the first and most effective teacher in their children’s life . . . to prepare them for success when they enter school. Family literacy breaks the cycle of poverty.
The impact of your investment:
- $50 Buys required training materials for one volunteer tutor.
- $100 Purchases literacy workbooks for one student and their tutor.
- $250 Provides books, materials, & parent training for one preschool child for two semesters.
- $500 Supports the cost for one new student and tutor pair for a full year.
- $1,000 Pays for tutor training instruction and materials for ten (10) volunteers.
Your gift of any amount goes a long way at the Adult Literacy League. Our staff is small... only 3 full-time and 9 part-time employees. We depend on your financial investments and over 400 trained volunteers for our students to reach their goals. Together, we can build a strong and literate community.
