About the Literacy Coalition
A recipient of the coveted 4-star Charity Navigator rating for 16 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, nearly half of all third graders are not reading on grade level and 22% of adults aged 16 and older lack basic literacy skills and can’t fill out a job application or read a bus schedule. 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 66,464 adults, children, and families each year, the Literacy Coalition’s goal is for every child and every adult in Palm Beach County to be able to read.
