Last year, more than 7,000 adults across the state were helped in reading, writing, and English as a Second Language.

 Literacy offers people an opportunity to control their own lives and futures, but more than one million adults in New Jersey have skills at or below a fifth grade level. This means that they are hampered in meeting their personal, social, and job-related goals.
