Project Literacy is based on the idea that literacy skills are the foundation of education, opportunity, and social participation. The group coordinates with community organizations to fight local illiteracy, while simultaneously fighting illiteracy across the nation and around the world.

Project Literacy takes a two-pronged approach to addressing literacy issues: volunteerism and advocacy. Project Literacy promotes education and empowerment by helping community members of all ages learn to read and write through programs like Jump Time and English as a Second Language. Our Special Projects committee increases awareness of literacy issues on both a local and global level through partnerships with initiative programs. |
