About Us

About United Literacy… a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization, United Literacy strives to bring literacy and technology together to better serve and support adult learners and local literacy organizations throughout the United States.

Our lives are filled with words. We read newspapers for news, freeway signs for directions, product descriptions on food packaging for nutritional information, and books for entertainment and education. For the 30 million people in the United States over age 16—14 percent of the adult population—these simple tasks are difficult, if not impossible. According to ProLiteracy, adult low literacy skills can be connected to almost every socio-economic issue in the United States. Low literacy’s effects cost the U.S. over $225 billion each year in non-productivity in the workforce, crime, and loss of tax revenue due to unemployment.

For two months in a row, The Literacy Tribune website has received over 2500 hits. We are very excited about that. The Board and I want to thank you for spreading the word about our newsletter. Now our goal is to reach, and pass, 3,000 hits a month! By the looks of it, we should reach our goals soon.

Help us to meet our goal this year by telling your friends and co-workers about The Literacy Tribune. We encourage you to share it on your social networks such as Facebook, Google Plus, and any others.
