The Learning Source Celebrates Adult Education & Family Literacy Week By Spotlighting Adult Education Resources Available In The Thornton Community

Denver Post: 9.20.2019 by t statton

National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week is September 22 through 28, 2019. The goal is to raise awareness about the need for and value of adult education and family literacy in the U.S. and in our local communities. As a proud supporter of Adult Education and Family Literacy Week, The Learning Source is a nonprofit organization that connects adult students with the resources they need to better their lives and take charge of their futures.

The Learning Source has expanded its reach and is now offering adult education resources to the Thornton community. The Thornton location is currently enrolling adult students now for high school equivalency (GED) preparation and English as a second language (ESL) classes.

“The Learning Source has been teaching classes and helping communities for more than 50 years. By extending our services to the Thornton area, we are able to serve even more students,” says Josh Evans, Chief Executive Officer with The Learning Source. “In Colorado 321,000 adults in do not have a high school diploma and 126,439 adults don’t speak English well or at all. Our goal is to change these statistics.”
