About Literacy
Literacy is a systemic issue -- it is at
the root of many social ills. The cost
to families and the community is
enormous.
People with low literacy levels are less
likely to graduate from high school,
more likely to live in poverty, more
likely to be dependent on public
tax-supported programs, or more likely
to be incarcerated.
About Literacy Green Bay
Literacy Green Bay
has been improving lives through
literacy for 28 years! We offer
programs centered around the advancement
of literacy -- an individual's ability
to read, write and speak English.
Most
learners enter our program because they
want to get a better job/promotion, read
to their children, help their children
with homework, or get a GED/HSED or a
technical certificate.
About
10 percent of our learners are seeking
basic skills. Almost 100% of our
learners are from low-income families.
