How You Can Help

Your Donation Will Help Keep D.C. LEARNs Going

D.C. LEARNs is a privately funded, non-profit 501©(3) tax-exempt organization. Your financial gift to D.C. LEARNs will help us build a stronger system of literacy services in Washington, D.C. and help policy makers understand the link between literacy, poverty, and inequality.

In 2008, with your help, we will be able to:

• Continue to provide adult literacy teachers and tutors with the most recent research-based training on sound literacy instructional practices through our Adult Education Professional Development Center;
• Continue to operate our literacy hotline and grow and maintain our database of programs;
• Help D.C. residents find adult, child, and family literacy volunteer opportunities;
• Collect and distribute book donations;
• Complete and publish our study of the estimated demand for adult literacy services in the District; and
• Monitor the city budget process and any other legislative activities with implications on literacy services.
