Mission Statement

The Mission of the Greenville Literacy Association is to empower adults to participate more effectively in the community by providing quality instruction in reading, writing, math and speaking English.

What We Do

The Greenville Literacy Association is the largest community-based adult literacy program in South Carolina and one of the most highly developed in the nation.

Greenville Literacy has expanded its services to five fully equipped and staffed learning centers across Greenville County and assists church and neighborhood literacy programs near these centers.
