Our dedicated tutors work with their students to increase their literacy skills so that they can improve their lives for themselves and their families. Here are some success stories:
-
Meaza opened a coffee business and just got an order from Walmart!
-
Julia and Eddie became citizens
-
Cecilia and Goga participated on a student panel at the state Literacy for Life conference
Right now, the future of Literacy NJ is uncertain. The proposed federal budget includes potential cuts to WIOA Title II, our primary source of funding. At Literacy NJ, we know adult education changes lives and drives economic growth in America. Our literacy programs strengthen local economies by helping learners gain the skills needed to secure employment, fill workforce gaps, support their families and contribute meaningfully to their communities. In other words, adult literacy programs help improve America for everyone. Sadly, in the proposed federal “skinny budget,” WIOA Title II faces elimination as of July 1st.
