Mission Statement

Working with members and local, national, and international organizations, we build capacity of programs that teach adults to read, write, use technology, and English.

About This Cause

ProLiteracy develops and promotes adult literacy learning, content, programs and advocacy to help adult learners. We believe every adult has a right to literacy. We are Literacy Volunteers of America and Laubach Literacy International, merged into one international organization working to end illiteracy in the US and in developing countries around the world. Literacy helps end poverty, injustice, discrimination, and violence; we work for a healthier, safer, and more just world through literacy. At ProLiteracy, we work every day so that millions of people can learn to read, write, do basic math, and use computers. In the United States, these crucial literacy skills help adults navigate grocery stores, understand prescription labels, help their children with homework, find decent jobs, and radically change the course of their lives. Internationally, literacy empowers people to start small businesses, prevent and manage HIV/AIDS, decrease domestic violence and human rights abuses, and find peaceful solutions.
