Ending Adult Illiteracy Begins with You

Adults with low literacy skills face a bleak future. Startling research by Georgetown University predicts that two-thirds of all new jobs in Michigan will require education and training beyond high school by 2020. With an estimated 105,400 functionally illiterate adults in Oakland County, we cannot afford to wait. Act now to bring literacy to every adult who needs it. Their lives–and our communities–will be improved immeasurably.

For over 37 years, the Oakland Literacy Council (OLC) has enabled adult students to achieve individual literacy goals through a partnership with trained volunteer tutors. OLC serves native-English speaking adults who need basic reading, writing, and math skills (adult basic education — ABE), and foreign-born adults who need English reading, writing,  or conversation skills (English Language Learners — ESL).

The Oakland Literacy Council is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 tax-exempt entity that relies on the financial support of individuals, businesses, community organizations, and foundations to fulfill its mission. Your tax-deductible financial gift can be made online, by mail or by Donor-Advised Fund. The Oakland Literacy Council also welcomes gifts of Stock and Legacy Gifts.
