Our Mission Is To Help Alleviate Poverty For All Chattanooga Citizens And Help Create Economic Stability Through Literacy Training And Educational Activities.
Literacy is a miracle in many ways. It gives people the ability to learn and work on their own terms. Literacy has given many people the opportunity to fulfill their dreams and passions. People who had never learned to read found something in it that changed their lives for the better and made them more productive citizens. Literacy has led to knowledge, wisdom, global exploration, scientific discoveries, and so much more.
