"Reading is a ladder out of poverty. It
is probably
one of the best anti-poverty,
anti-depravation,
anti-crime, anti-vandalism policies you
can think of."
U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown,
launching the National Year of Reading
2008

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
come 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.
