Alaska Literacy Program

Adult learners can take year-round classes in reading, writing, and speaking English at this literacy program. Classes meet for three hours a week over eight-week quarters, with a sliding fee scale based on household income. The program also serves families with young children and, in recent years, has expanded to adult learners such as GED students. Its work extends to digital, health, financial, and family literacy, alongside support for pathways to employment, professional training, and post-secondary education. Volunteer teachers are recruited, trained, certified, and supported to teach alongside staff. The Anchorage office is located in Anchorage, Alaska. The program has provided literacy services to Anchorage residents and people throughout the state since 1974.
