Welcome to Literacy Pittsburgh

Literacy Pittsburgh offers literacy programs for adults and families in Allegheny County and Beaver County. Last year, more than 5,100 people in the Greater Pittsburgh area improved their reading, writing, math, English language, computer and workplace skills. Free classes and tutoring move students from learning to earning and help them succeed as workers, parents and neighbors.
