About Us

Wisconsin Literacy is Wisconsin’s statewide hub for adult education and literacy. We strengthen 80 community-based programs that help adults and families improve reading, writing, math, English (ESL), digital skills, and job readiness, including GED and HSED pathways. 

We support local programs through training, health literacy education, workforce connections, and advocacy so more adults can reach education, work, and family goals.
