Help National Literacy Directory Celebrate 10 Years ▬ NCFL

Help Our National Literacy Directory Celebrate 10 Years

stories@nld.org

Share a short video about your adult education experience

NCFL: 7.31.2020

Where have hundreds of thousands of students and volunteers looked to find literacy and community education programs since 2010? The National Literacy Directory (NLD) at nld.org !

We’re celebrating 10 years of being the go-to online portal for finding classes across the U.S in early childhood, family literacy, adult basic education, English language learning, and citizenship.

Help us celebrate this milestone!

1. Share this page with your network

2. Send us a video about your education experience for a chance to be featured as part of the 10-year milestone. All submissions will be entered to win an iPad!

Have you participated in classes to further your education?

Send us a video sharing how those classes have impacted your life and your family. 

Have you volunteered to help others in literacy or community education programs?

Send us a video sharing what you have learned from your experience or how this experience has enriched your life. 

Have you used the NLD to advertise your program’s services?

Send us a video describing how the NLD has helped connect you to your community.

Creating your video is a snap! 

A cell phone will do the trick and 30-60 seconds is all you need. Just be sure to hold the phone horizontally (landscape mode) and face a good lighting source like a window, lamp, or outside. Look straight at the camera (not down).

All submissions are due by Aug. 31, 2020. Just email your video to stories@nld.org to enter!  READ MORE ➤➤
