Adult Education and Family Literacy Week: Celebrate with these success stories

Adult Education and Family Literacy Week may be drawing to a close, but it’s important to keep the conversation going!

Family literacy programs impact people’s lives every single day all over the country. Most of these programs couldn’t survive without the help of volunteers and funders, and they rely on community awareness of their programs to help with both.

Few things help generate awareness like a good success story. To help keep the conversations going, we invite you to get to know the people below.

All were student speakers at the 19th annual National Conference on Family Literacy in San Antonio in April of this year. Students sharing their success stories is a popular feature of the National Conference on Family Literacy every year, and these speeches are a lasting example of family literacy programs’ impact.
