As our program year draws to a close, our thoughts focus on the well-being of our adult learners working toward a high school credential, learning English, obtaining U.S. citizenship, pursuing college and better jobs, and improving their reading, writing, math, or computer skills.
More than ever, Literacy Pittsburgh is honored to offer programs that help both our native- and foreign-born neighbors feel valued and respected. These are real people building lives in our city, all of whom have a story about overcoming adversity and moving forward, and we are proud to serve them.
Your support can transform lives in ways you never imagined. By investing in Literacy Pittsburgh, you’re not just contributing to a cause—you’re igniting hope for adult learners who are striving to build a future for their families.
