We are committed to increasing literacy for adults and their families, effectively utilizing and supporting volunteers in the delivery of services, and to providing research, training, and technical assistance related to the various aspects of adult literacy. By accomplishing this mission, we assist students to achieve personal, educational, and job-related goals.

Each year we host a conference in order to provide our members with current, state-of-the-art thinking in a broad range of topics of importance to the literacy field.
