Washington's Literacy Coalition
Here in Washington, D.C. many residents lack the literacy skills they need to get a good job, take part in civic affairs, read to their children, or access information about their health, safety or legal rights.
D.C. LEARNs is Washington's literacy coalition. We are working together with the literacy programs here in the District to raise public awareness of literacy issues, recruit volunteers, provide outreach to new learners, and provide the materials, research, training, and technical assistance needed to raise the quality of literacy services available to D.C. residents.
