The READ Center has been providing adult literacy education since 1984, offering classroom instruction, one-to-one tutoring, group tutoring, specialty classes, and workshops to help adults in the Richmond community improve their literacy skills. READ is the only literacy agency in metro Richmond that services adults with extremely low literacy levels, holding a unique position in the cycle of adult education. The organization serves a diverse student population of adults 18 and older, with students seeking their services for numerous reasons.
Support of the Great Richmond Trivia Bee helps adults develop the skills they need to improve their lives as employees, family members, and citizens. In the Greater Richmond area, one in six adults have low literacy skills. Low literacy skills affect an individual’s health, education, employment, housing, and economic outcomes. Literacy skills are critical to navigating employment changes, keeping up with health and wellness needs, and adapting to a digital society.
