Mission

LITERACY SOURCE PARTNERS WITH ADULTS WORKING TO GAIN SKILLS AND EDUCATION TO CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY.

AT THE HEART OF OUR WORK IS TEACHING ADULT LEARNERS TO READ, WRITE AND DO BASIC MATH. THAT'S BECAUSE PROFICIENCY IN THESE AREAS IS A GAME-CHANGER FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE OTHERWISE UNABLE TO ATTAIN EMPLOYMENT, THRIVE IN SCHOOL, GAIN CITIZENSHIP AND PURSUE OTHER LIFE OPPORTUNITIES.
