Welcome

Community literacy has a short history for a revolutionary idea. Literacy Powerline was one of the first to recognize the power of linking stakeholders, neighborhoods and services together to increase literacy levels. This is done through coordinated, high-accountability service provision. Most important, since 2000

Literacy Powerline has been able to guide others through the entire process successfully. Today, scores of communities across the country have accessed the resources and capabilities of Literacy Powerline’s team.
