Our Adult Literacy programs are designed to address the needs of adults in our communities. Along with implementing Adult Literacy programs, the Literacy Outreach Coordinator advocates on behalf of the adult population in our region and meets with adults one-on-one to discuss free learning opportunities and any current gaps.
