Literacy Action is the largest nonprofit provider of free adult basic education in the state, with classes offered at its main campus downtown, online and at several locations throughout the metro area. Each year, Literacy Action serves approximately 400 adult learners with more than 1,200 classes in adult basic education.
“Most of our students begin classes reading at a second- to fifth-grade level, are unemployed or underemployed and live below the federal poverty level.
Of our total student population, 80% earn less than $15,000 annually,” said Lindsay Hill, Literacy Action director of development.
