Project Description:

Bridgerland Literacy is an adult literacy program that helps adults who struggle with literacy in reading, writing and math. We work with individuals who need to improve their literacy skills to improve their lives, employment, and education. We work with individuals who have basic literacy issues, need help with language content for a technical or university program, those seeking to pass professional tests and those who are working on the GED. English language learners, immigrants and refugees work with us to increase their understanding and use of English.
