The Literacy Coalition is no longer in operation. Remaining funds were transferred to the Delaware Community Foundation. A literacy fund was set up to continue literacy efforts within the community.

Welcome!

The Literacy Coalition is committed to the vision that all individuals should have the necessary skills to read, write, and speak English, with the proficiency necessary to solve problems, and to function on the job and in society.
