Founded in 1985, Literacy KC is a non-profit organization that offers adults a welcoming community to improve their literacy skills, enhancing quality of life for them and their families. With support from volunteers, donors, partners, and the community at large, Literacy KC invests in Kansas City’s greatest asset – our people.

Each term, tutors, volunteers, and instructors build a collaborative learning environment where adult students expand their reading, writing, math, and digital skills. With each term, a new group of students inspires a legacy of education that results in a more positive and productive community.
