Message from the Executive Director

This was another year of growth and innovation for the Adult Literacy League.

A group of volunteers, board members, staff and students brainstormed ways to celebrate our 2018 50th Anniversary and once again, Costa Communications stepped up to provide us with a celebration logo to mark our half-century of service.

Our family literacy program served more than 1,000 and their families while our Adult Literacy programs – both Adult Basic Education and English Language Literacy programs – provide nearly 3,000 adults with instruction.

While the numbers are impressive, the outcomes were more so.
