VISION STATEMENT

"Ameliorate Illiteracy"

Illiteracy ties us to our past with extreme limitations. Reading proficiency connects us to a future with unlimited potential. Literacy opens doors of opportunity that no other skill can provide.

Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the basis for learning and competing successfully in society and the workplace. Proficiency in literacy empowers us to ultimately improve socioeconomic conditions for our families and future generations.

- Dr. R. S. Campbell
