ProLiteracy Launches Global Literacy Hero Contest to Raise
Awareness of Adult Literacy
ProLiteracy: 10.24.2018
In
an effort to help the 36 million low-literate adults in the U.S., ProLiteracy,
the leader in adult literacy content development, programs, and
advocacy for more than 60 years, is pleased to announce the launch of the ProLiteracy Hero
Contest. ProLiteracy launched the contest to raise awareness of the adult
literacy crisis, and to recognize the adult education and literacy heroes
worldwide!
A
panel of ProLiteracy judges chose the top 10 national finalists from hundreds
of stories and submissions that were sent in from around the world. The video
and story submissions are posted to the ProLiteracy website and have been
opened up to a public vote at www.proliteracy.org. Each week, the finalists
will be narrowed down until the first-, second-, and third-place winners are
selected on November 16.
“The
local literacy organizations are the heroes who make adult learners’ dreams
come true,” said Kevin Morgan, President and CEO of ProLiteracy. “Choosing
the top ten finalists out of so many worthwhile organizations was very
difficult. They all deserve to be recognized.”
2 of The
top ten adult literacy organization finalists are from California:
LearningQuest – Stanislaus Literacy Centers in Modesto, California
Vision Literacy in Santa Clara
County, CA
