Who We Are

About Literacy Connection
(Formerly Blue Ridge Literacy Council)

• We transform lives by cultivating literacy skills that promote economic and social success.

• We serve native and non-native English speakers through Adult Basic Education and English Language Acquisition. Using a student-centered beyond basics approach, we teach our students within the context of their goal(s).

• Goals include reaching self-sustaining employment, family literacy/school success, obtaining citizenship, and/or achieving post-secondary credentials including the GED.

• Our services are delivered by more than 100 trained volunteer tutors, credentialed instructors, and a small, but highly effective, staff.

• We serve nearly 200 learners annually, of whom, 96% reach one or more of their goals.
