First Literacy

Adult literacy can change everything – from earning potential, to a child’s academic success, to recidivism rates. At First Literacy we envision a world in which all adults are able to reach their full potential. We are committed to supporting the continuum of Adult Basic Education (ABE) by offering free professional development workshops for teachers, grants for innovative new programs, and scholarships to adults continuing to higher education or vocational training. Our goal is to ensure that adult learners and adult educators receive the support and resources they need to make our vision a reality. Since First Literacy was established, we have helped over 50,000 adults improve their lives through the power of education and allocated more than $6 million to support teachers and innovative literacy programs. Our impact is far-reaching and life-changing.
