Advocate

There are many ways to advocate for Adult Literacy.

Tutors, who come alongside adult learners, are the best advocates, next to the learners themselves.

We work with learners to write letters to local policymakers when adult literacy funding comes up for review. The learners love making a difference in issues that are important to them.

You can also educate yourself about adult literacy and share your knowledge with your community and your lawmakers.
