Literacy Minnesota works to build a more equitable society by making quality literacy education available to all. Literacy—the ability to read, communicate and access information—is critical for navigating the workforce, advocating for oneself and fulfilling basic needs. We envision a future where literacy eliminates injustice and strengthens communities.
We are a comprehensive literacy resource, providing free classes for adults and children; supporting literacy organizations through volunteer recruitment, training and teaching tools; and creating new pathways for groups and individuals to reach their full potential.
Literacy Minnesota is recognized as a local and national leader and a driving force behind the latest developments in literacy learning. Our strong roots in the state of Minnesota bolster our broader leadership.
Literacy Leadership, Digital Navigation Corps and Summer Reads are three of our major programs. Literacy Leadership focuses on working behind the scenes to make literacy programs more effective through two tracks - Literacy for All and Digital Literacy; Digital Navigation Corps members directly serve individuals, focusing on workforce development through digital literacy support in historically underserved communities; and Summer Reads focuses on supporting students entering grades K-5. We do our work by partnering with other organizations across the nation.
