Impact Summary from the Nonprofit

Learning Lab programs are a permanent solution to poverty, unemployment, crime, and other barriers caused by illiteracy. Providing adults, parents, and children with the education necessary to break the generational cycle of illiteracy is key to a future of economic self-sufficiency, stronger families and a more productive community. The need in our community continues to grow and our waiting list consistently has 100+ students waiting for classes.

Leadership Statement:
With the generous support of our community, Learning Lab just completed our 21st year of service to people who struggle with basic reading, writing, math and English skills. Low literacy skills trap people in a life where every day is hard and poverty seems insurmountable. Our classes pave a new path for our students. Step by step, with support and encouragement, the joy of reading and learning sparks. There is a synergy created from the students’ spirit, the volunteers’ coaching, the teachers’ insight, the specialized curriculum and software, and a love of learning that is always part of the atmosphere. Learning Lab changes lives every day. Words and numbers that were a mystery yesterday, have meaning and depth of understanding today. Students, who once lived with the fear and embarrassment of being illiterate, are treated with dignity, kindness and respect. They develop positive feelings about education, and we provide a way for them to see a future that is more productive, engaged, and successful, not only for them, but for their children too. The ripple effect each student makes when their literacy levels increase is dramatic and far reaching. Our dedication is unwavering, and our organization is strong. We are committed to our cause – to teach, to support, to help create a brighter future for all who struggle with literacy. Ann Heilman, Executive Director
