Imagine you can't read any of these!
An estimated 43,000
adults in east King County alone are functionally illiterate.
Hopelink's literacy program works to equip our
community's adults - many of them parents - with the basic literacy
skills they need in order to be better family members, workers and
community members.
Hopelink's Literacy Learning Centers provide
a crucial element in the development of self-sufficiency, helping adults improve their
family's safety, stability and security.
