We were honored to attend the State of the Workforce Luncheon today and even more honored to be one of the recipients of the Big Red Apple Award!
We truly love literacy and the difference it makes in our community. To have the work we do recognized in this way means so much to our entire team.
We are grateful, humbled, and proud to continue changing lives through literacy—one learner at a time. 📚💙 🍎 Natasha Duncan and Abbey Hogue

💚 Behind every literacy statistic is a person.

Someone working toward a promotion.
Someone studying for a certification.
Someone learning English.
Someone who wants to read to their grandchildren.

According to recent adult literacy data, 59 million Americans have literacy skills at or below the lowest proficiency level.

This National Literacy Month, we celebrate every learner who chooses courage over fear and takes the next step toward a brighter future.

Because literacy doesn't just teach people how to read. It helps them achieve the life they envision for themselves.
