Upcoming Events:
Literacy Texas is the statewide literacy coalition, connecting and equipping adult and family literacy programs through resources, training, networking and advocacy.
Our vision is that every literacy organization in Texas will have the resources it needs to help adults and families learn basic literacy skills, so that all people can participate fully in society.
What Literacy Texas does
We provide resources and training to the staff and volunteers at community-based organizations (CBOs). Texas literacy organizations help adults to learn English, increase their reading, and many have a particular focus on assisting parents and caregivers to increase their own literacy and support their child’s learning.
We support CBO staff and volunteers who offer alternative high school degree programs.
We support workforce CBO programs and advocate with public policy leaders to enhance the positive impact of a more literate society.
We work with other literacy organizations, foundations, and business leaders to stress the need for public policy change to improve these numbers.
We are a champion of finding resources to keep students in the formal education system.
We hold multiple regional symposia and an annual conference free of charge to CBO staff and volunteers.
