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. 

I’m thrilled to be participating in the Literacy NJ 3 Day Challenge, a fundraiser supporting Literacy New Jersey, Inc. ! I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—will help us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause. 

With federal funding cuts imminent, your support is more important than ever!

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
