Empowering Lives Through Literacy
ReadWest Adult Literacy Center Giving Tuesday Campaign
We give thanks to YOU for being part of the ReadWest Adult Literacy family, following our accomplishments, and investing in our work.
We would like to give recognition to our adult learners who study hard, share their stories, and dare to be brave enough to ask for help.
Many of our students come to ReadWest for reading, writing, High School Equivalency prep, and more. However, empowering our learners to increase their skills in vocabulary, computer literacy, and financial literacy, workplace readiness, and personal goals are in high demand as the AI world comes alive. These skills are taught here at ReadWest and are utilized by the majority of our students.
ReadWest’s Empower Lives Through Literacy will benefit adult learners in reaching their personal/professional goals and give ReadWest the tools we need to support our students. Our goal of $7000 will help fund our students’ classes and materials. Classes such as high school equivalency, reading, writing, math, and computer literacy are essential in today’s workforce.

Did You Know?
Simple everyday tasks can present real problems. Following street signs, reading bus schedules, filling out job applications or reading prescription labels can be very frustrating and even frightening to an adult who struggles to read. ReadWest helps adult learners of English with basic vocabulary, communication for many life and cultural situations as well as helps them to become literate in reading and writing English.
