United Literacy

United Literacy is a new non-profit organization launched on International Literacy Day, September 8.

It is dedicated to making literacy an accessible and achievable goal for adult learners.

Our goal is to provide learners with comprehensive information on literacy organizations and programs in their communities. After a learner has taken the first step of admitting they need to learn to read, finding information on a program in their area can be difficult. We want to eliminate this obstacle and put motivated learners on the road to literacy.

In addition, we will provide learners with additional resources that will supplement and complement the literacy program they are participating in.

The Literacy Tribune, our bi-monthly newsletter, will give learners an opportunity to put their literacy skills to work by reading articles on every day issues such as health, finance, education, and technology. Each issue will also feature one learner’s story that will encourage and inform learners on their journey to improving their literacy skills.
