Kenosha Literacy Council Literacy Month

Can you imagine not being able to read a note from your child's teacher, fill out a job application, or read instructions from the doctor? More than 30 million adults in the U.S. cannot read, write or do basic math above a 3rd grade level. September is National Literacy Month and time for us to bring attention to this important issue. Be a part of someone's success story by supporting literacy!

100% of the proceeds for this auction support KLC's English literacy programs. The Kenosha Literacy Council gives adult learners the tools they need to change their lives. When you partner with the Kenosha Literacy Council by investing in our education programs: adult learners have access to literacy programs per year; parents are better able to care for their children; immigrants become citizens; families are financially independent when they get jobs and job training; and our community is stronger!

At the Kenosha Literacy Council we see firsthand how adult literacy is a factor in almost every socioeconomic issue, including parenting, health care, workforce development, and poverty. We believe that literacy is a basic human right and the foundation for lifelong learning. Our programs teach reading, writing and speaking skills to adults so they and their families can achieve financial independence, good health and greater involvement in our community. The Kenosha Literacy Council gives adult learners the tools they need to change their lives. When their hard work and determination is paired with KLC’s educational opportunities the results are life-changing.
