Mission
Changing lives by strengthening literacy statewide.
Wisconsin Literacy, Inc. supports 70 community-based literacy programs throughout Wisconsin. We strengthen literacy through expert trainings, health literacy, workforce connections, and advocacy. Donate to increase literacy skills statewide.
In Wisconsin, 1.5 million adults need advanced skills training. Our member programs provide literacy services to adults and families in their communities.
