Adult & Workforce Education

Build skills you can use at home, at work, and in everyday life.

Adult learners can improve their English, reading, writing, math, computer skills, or prepare for the GED. Our workforce development programs also help learners explore careers and take steps toward their employment goals.

Classes and support are available in English and Spanish, with online and in-person options.

Children’s Programs

Help children build a strong and joyful connection with reading.

Our children’s programs work with families, schools, and volunteers to help young learners grow as readers. Reading Seed provides one-to-one reading support and books chosen around each child’s interests.

Reading Seed empowers children to be independent readers through:

Partnering with Title I schools to support their students in developing healthy relationships with books and reading
One-to-one reading coaching from volunteers we select and train
Free books for young readers based on their individual interests
Increasing students’ confidence and skills through our student-centered, strengths-based approach to literacy

Arts Integration Programs

Give young people more ways to learn, create, and share their ideas.

Arts Integration Programs empower youth to embrace writing, creativity, and collaboration as tools for 21st-century success. Through the arts, children’s original words and ideas are transformed into performances and projects that inspire creativity, strengthen literacy, and build community. Whether brought to life by professional artists or by youth themselves, each story celebrates the power of imagination and the impact of sharing one’s voice.
