Mission Statement
Literacy Minnesota's mission is to share the power of learning through education, community building and advocacy.
About This Cause
Our History: Literacy Minnesota started in a Roseville church basement in 1972. A group of volunteers realized if one person taught someone to read, and that person taught someone to read, they could create a movement. They knew early on that literacy is critical to growth and self-sufficiency and planted the seed for reading programs and statewide volunteer training. Today: Our team serves Minnesotans of all ages — from 3-year-olds mastering their ABCs to grandparents determined to get their GED. Our literacy-rich preschools and summer reading programs start Minnesota’s youngest readers off on the right foot. Free English, GED preparation and job-readiness classes prepare adults for post-secondary education and careers. Support in program best practices, educational technology, volunteer training and national service hosting strengthens hundreds of literacy programs across Minnesota and beyond. Tomorrow: The definition of literacy is everchanging, and we take pride in anticipating shifts in community needs. For example, digital literacy is now a significant part of what we do. Our work is always evolving so we're prepared to give everyone the best opportunity to be successful students, workers, family members and citizens. When literacy learners gain the tools to build fuller lives, we all reap the benefits.
