Richmond County Literacy Network

It's Never Too Late To Learn!

About Us
 

The Richmond County Literacy Network is a volunteer, community-based, non-profit society established in April, 1998 to address the adult literacy needs of the residents of Richmond County.  As a registered organization, the Literacy Network works in partnership with numerous government agencies and community organizations to accomplish its vision. 

Our vision is that "all people in Richmond County will have access to opportunities for lifelong learning.  Given these opportunities, they will be able to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for them to achieve a personally satisfying life and realize their full potential as productive and prosperous citizens in an information-based, global society."

Our Literacy Network, as indicated by the mission statement, is concerned with promoting and supporting lifelong learning, in the County of Richmond, by providing effective program and service delivery through the maximization of existing resources, collaborative partnerships and advocacy.  Therefore, the main activities of the Literacy Network are adult learning programs, one-on-one tutoring, life/work skills workshops, youth initiatives and the promotion and support of literacy and lifelong learning.

The Literacy Network currently has a board of 12 directors and a general membership of 48.  Meetings are held monthly and are open to the general membership.  All meetings are well attended and support is strong for the literacy initiatives undertaken by the Network.
