Our mission is to promote literacy and enhance the lives of adults in our community through learning. Member: ProLiteracy www.proliteracy.org

Less than 10% of adults who need literacy help are able to get it.

We're working to change that.

At the Literacy Council of Western Arkansas, we believe every adult who wants to strengthen their reading, writing, or English skills deserves the chance โ€” and the support โ€” to do it. Our tutoring is free, confidential, and built around each learner's own goals, whether that's earning a GED, reading to a grandchild, or advancing at work.

If you're ready to take that step, or you know someone who is, reach out. We'd love to hear from you.

Our learners range from 18 to well past retirement, and every single one of them proves the same thing: there's no expiration date on learning. Whether it's reading, writing, or working toward a new goal, the best time to start is now.

Literacy isn't just reading words on a page โ€” it's filling out a job application, reading a prescription label, helping your kid with homework. It's the foundation everything else is built on. ๐Ÿ“š

The Literacy Council of Western Arkansas provides free adult education services right here in Sebastian County and every learner who walks through our doors is building something bigger than a skill โ€” they're building a future.

And getting there costs you nothing. Our GED prep is free, one-on-one, and paced to your life.
