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.

We have supported non-profit literacy programs with capacity-building, advocacy, and professional trainings since 1985! Watch our video to learn more about us.

Christine missed a lot of information during school because she didn't have hearing aids. Now, she's working on her writing and speech and gaining more self-confidence at Buffalo-Pepin Literacy Alliance.
This is her story.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the widening digital divide and the increasing concern with accessing credible health information.
Based on the success of Wisconsin Health Literacy’s (WHL) Health Online: Finding Information You Can Trust, Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) will work with WHL to develop videos, program guides, and virtual learning series to address the digital divide nationally.
