LITERACY is an individual's ability to read, write, speak
in English, compute and solve problems at levels of
proficiency necessary to function on the job, in the
family of the individual, and in society.
THE MISSION OF BLUEGRASS LITERACY is to promote life
long learning, and to empower individual learners (15 years of age
and older) to improve their reading, writing, or help them learn English
as a second language. We also offer life skills support as needed
for adult learners.
