Public Policy - Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Here in Washington, D.C., as many as 20% of our residents lack the literacy skills they need to earn a living wage, fully engage in civic affairs, access information about health and safety issues, or wholly exercise their legal and civil rights. Moreover, low adult literacy skills imperil future generations, because parents play the central role in the transfer of literacy skills from one generation to the next.D.C. LEARNs is Washington's literacy coalition. We are working for adult, child, and family 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.
