Programs
Since 1987 the Literacy Coalition has provided educational opportunities to those most in need. Over the past 23 years we estimate that our volunteers and teachers have provided educational opportunities to over 5,000 adults and children in Steuben County. In 2010 alone, the Literacy Coalition provided free literacy and educational services for 1,144 adults and children!
