Description

D.C. LEARNs is a 501 (3) organization, whose membership includes more than 70 organizations providing literacy instruction to children, youth, and adults in Washington, D.C. Together we serve over 34,000 individuals. Most of these organizations are community-based nonprofits, but also include individual, ancillary, and corporate members. D.C. LEARNs is modeled after successful literacy coalitions operating in many other cities and states. As a coalition, D.C. LEARNs does not provide direct literacy instruction, but rather engages in supporting and strengthening the work of the organizations that provide literacy services. Because we represent a broad cross-section of literacy providers and supporters, we are positioned to efficiently gather and disseminate citywide information on literacy services, help residents locate programs that will meet their needs, identify volunteer opportunities, and work collaboratively with our members to improve the quality of literacy services across the city. For policymakers and funders, we are able to provide comprehensive information on the city's literacy activities and needs. While we offer specific member benefits to our organizational members, we strive to support the efforts of all literacy providers in the District and improve literacy services for all D.C. residents.
