We all deserve the best chance at a good life.
Imagine, for a moment, you are struggling with literacy. You can’t complete a job application, read a bus map, or read a book to your child. Now think about your kids falling behind, too. Your low literacy will affect their schoolwork, their self-esteem, and their future.
Too many of our neighbors are at a tremendous disadvantage. They deserve better. They deserve our help.
The future promises even more. Your gift supports:
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Every month a child receives a brand-new age-appropriate book in the mail from birth to 5 years old. Those who sign up, receive up to 60 books in all, so they can start a library of their very own.
2Gen Community. A family-centered, highly positive service delivery mechanism that seeks to reorder traditional ways that programs serve families. It addresses some of the common issues faced by early education, adult literacy, and workforce development programs and the clients they serve.
Career Pathway Engagement. Opening doors to employment for low literate adults by working with adult education and workforce development providers to link industry-specific math and reading sessions with occupational training programs.
Professional Excellence. Connecting educators to a learning community to promote best practices designed to advance literacy.
Public Education & Advocacy Seeking to bring broad attention to issues of access, quality and learner progression and transitions.
