Collective Advocacy and Policy Influence – We unite the field to speak with a stronger, more coordinated voice on behalf of adult education and literacy.
Expanding Access
By bringing together national, state, and local partners, we advance policies that expand access, increase investment, and ensure adult learners have the skills they need to succeed. Through collective advocacy, we elevate what works, influence decision-makers, and drive lasting systems change
Investing & Integrating

• Build an Integrated Skills-Based Workforce System by Reauthorizing WIOA

Visibility & Public Awareness
We elevate the importance of adult education and literacy by increasing public understanding and recognition of its impact.
Expanding Access
Through strategic communications, storytelling, and national engagement, we shine a light on the needs of adult learners and the value of the field, by building broader support, reducing stigma, and positioning literacy as essential to opportunity and economic growth.
Partnerships & Cross-Sector Collaboration
Purpose
We work to ensure that all adults who need literacy services can access high-quality programs that deliver real results.

Partnerships & Cross-Sector Collaboration
