History
Since 1984, Literacy Collier has walked alongside families and workers to overcome language barriers. What began as a small group of volunteers helping adults learn English has grown into a trusted community resource serving hundreds of families each year.
​
Today, we partner with schools, employers, and community organizations to provide classes and programs that open doors to education, employment, and belonging. Our legacy is one of compassion, collaboration, and lasting impact across generations.
