About the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County
A recipient of the coveted 4-star Charity Navigator rating for 14 consecutive years, the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County works to improve the quality of life in our community by promoting and achieving literacy. In Palm Beach County, 22% of adults age 16 and older lack basic literacy skills and can’t fill out a job application or read a bus schedule, and nearly half of all third graders are not reading on grade level. Through extensive outreach and collaboration with a network of community partners, the Literacy Coalition strives to ensure that individuals who need to improve their literacy skills receive the help they need. By providing services to 46,867 adults and children each year, the Literacy Coalition’s goal is for every child and every adult in Palm Beach County to be able to read.
