Literacy Coalition mission:
Eliminate illiteracy in Washtenaw County.
One in eight Washtenaw County adults lacks the reading skills to complete a job application.
50%
of children with illiterate parents
grow up to be illiterate themselves.
Our goals:
- Increase public awareness of illiteracy in our community.
- Create a comprehensive system of literacy services.
- Build the infrastructure of the Literacy Coalition to support long-term sustainability.
Our plan:
Over 30 nonprofit, government, educational, and business partners.
Thanks to these organizations for their generous support:
