      Our agency opened its doors in 1980. In 1996,  the organization’s directors sought non-profit status and became the community-based organization (CBO), Adult Literacy Lawrence County. Today we have a new name that better represents who we serve and what we offer. Several members of the original board continue to serve. The agency began with a small grant that offered tutoring for adults who couldn’t read. Over the years the components have grown to meet the changing needs of the community, including ABE and GED, family literacy, college prep and technology components.  In the past year, over 180 adults participated in one or more of our program components. Along with a host of many other agencies within the community, we typically inspire over 1000 children to read more than 5,000 books as they compete for rides in our Summer Reading Kickoff Parade. The Summer Reading Kickoff hosts over 500 families. During the summer months, over 200 families attend our weekly Wednesdays In The Park series at Cascade Park.

Mission Statement

The agency’s mission is to provide non-traditional educational choices that promote lifelong learning for adult residents and their families who seek to improve their literacy skills in order to successfully realize their full potential as individuals, family members, and citizens.
