About CFLC
WE ENVISION A COMMUNITY IN WHICH ALL ADULTS HAVE THE LITERACY SKILLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED.
While most of us have strong literacy skills that we take for granted, thousands of adults in our community don’t have these skills and their lives are impacted in profound ways.
-
An estimated 14,000+ adults in New Hanover County function at a “below basic” literacy level
-
47,000 more functioning at a “basic” literacy level
-
12,700 people in New Hanover County live in a household where a language other than English is spoken
These neighbors struggle daily to fill out job applications, use maps, understand information from a school or doctor’s office, and perform countless other tasks. They want – and need – to develop their skills to succeed in their jobs, take better care of their families and contribute more fully to their community.
OPENING DOORS AND CHANGING LIVES,
EVERY DAY.
