Adult Literacy Project

Did you know that 22% of adults in the U.S. function at the lowest levels of literacy?

Simple tasks often present huge barriers:

  • Completing a job application
  • Reading a medicine label
  • Registering to vote
  • Opening a bank account
  • Helping a child with homework

In Palm Beach County, over 70,000 adults share these concerns.

Help your friend, co-worker, or neighbor achieve their goals as parents, employees, and members of the community.

  • Make a difference – volunteer a few hours each week.
  • Teach an English-speaking adult to read and write.
  • Materials and training are offered free of charge.

A highly rewarding experience awaits you!
