What We Do

The Literacy Coalition of Central Texas is a non-profit organization working to strengthen Central Texas literacy education providers through advocacy, research, training and resource development. Our services support a network of over 70 organizations providing literacy services, including English as a second language classes, GED classes, family literacy, health literacy, and workforce literacy within the 5 county region of Central Texas (including Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties.)

Our core programmatic strategies include increasing the capacity for literacy services in Central Texas, improving program quality, and improving the coordination of existing services.

Our efforts include:

1. Improving regional capacity for literacy services through identification of new resources (volunteer teachers, financial resources, and other in-kind support).
2. Creating a more efficient, effective literacy service delivery system by providing high-quality, evidence-based training in literacy instruction, classroom resources and materials opportunities for peer consultation.
3. Promoting more effective and efficient use of existing community resources by mobilizing partnerships and improving service coordination through participation in community planning bodies, operating an information and referral line for literacy services, and coordinating local research and regional planning efforts to asses and address changing literacy conditions and community needs.
4. Improving regional awareness of literacy issues to improve policy direction, civic engagement, and fiscal investment of the public sector for literacy services.
