About Us Heading link

For more than 30 years, the Center for Literacy has provided family literacy programming and adult education services to communities on Chicago’s South and West Sides. Our work strengthens families in order to strengthen communities, and we believe that in order for children to thrive, parents need to thrive. Through GED programming, career and employment services, IEP/504 advocacy, professional development for educators, and resources for parents, we empower Chicago families to live their best lives.
