The statistics about illiteracy in our community are shocking — but very few people have heard them. We get it, it’s unpleasant to think about our community in this way. But the good news is, you can make a difference simply by spreading the word.
Tell others about Cleveland’s illiteracy rates: 66% of Clevelanders have low literacy levels (functioning, but not thriving in daily life.) Some neighborhoods are as high as 90% or more!

✨Make this the year you do something that matters! ✨ When you volunteer as a tutor for adults, you have the opportunity to make a direct, meaningful impact on someone’s life.

You’ll see immediate results of your efforts when you volunteer at Seeds. www.seedsofliteracy.org/tutor
#AdultEducation #AdultLiteracy #GED #ChangeLives
Can you imagine facing homelessness, battling mental health challenges, struggling with addiction, or all three at once? What if you add to it a poverty-level income and the inability to earn more because you didn’t have your GED? For many of our students, it’s not a hypothetical, it’s a reality. When you volunteer as a tutor, you help fight the statistics. Make this the year you fight adult illiteracy!

Make this the year you help improve the future of a family!
According to ProLiteracy, a mother’s reading level is the biggest predictor of a child’s future academic success – even more so than neighborhood or family income. During the pandemic, we saw the impact low literacy levels had on a child’s ability to learn, and a parent’s ability to help them. Parents who regularly read have children that succeed. Make this the year you help to improve the future of a family by becoming an adult education tutor. www.seedsofliteracy.org/tutor
