Everyone Needs to Read
Whether it is a job application, a medical form or simply a child’s homework assignment, it can be difficult to perform many necessary tasks without knowing how to read. Adult illiteracy is a growing problem in Kalamazoo County, but by working together we can begin to teach and empower our community.
We are excited to announce that we are in the midst of our first ever annual campaign. We are asking the community to help us meet our goal of helping Kalamazoo county adults realize their full potential. To learn more about how you can help, read the article posted below, "Everyone Needs to Read Annual Campaign 2012".
