Family Literacy Program

Transforming Families, Transforming Communities

Educating, Engaging, and Empowering Parents and Children

This foundational initiative invests in the next generation through intergenerational literacy services supporting low-income, immigrant and refugee families with limited or interrupted education.

An investment in the education of all children, particularly those with low literacy and numeracy skills diminishes the achievement gap. In doing so it is necessary to provide parental education so that parents are better able to seve as the first teachers of their children as well as gain necessary skills needed for employment and family self-sufficiency.
