2018 Literacy for Life Conference

Saturday, April 21, The College of New Jersey

Registration for the conference is now closed. 

For more than 30 years, Literacy New Jersey has brought together students, tutors, board members and adult educators from all over the state for our annual Literacy for Life Conference.

NJ adult literacy programs focus on better-educated children and stronger workforce

More than 17 percent of New Jersey’s adults, many of whom are parents, lack the basic literacy skills necessary to comprehend a note from their child’s teacher requesting a conference, to help with homework or read a bedtime story.

Free citizenship class at the Plainsboro Public Library

Literacy New Jersey is offering a free citizenship preparation class covering history/government, practice interviews/tests, and the N-400 form. Classes will be held at the Plainsboro Public Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30am to 12:30pm.

Literacy NJ is proud to be an organization that welcomes people of all races, ethnicities, religions, genders, and sexual orientations, both immigrants and U.S. born.

 We are appalled by the acts of hatred that have been committed around the country in the days since the election. We strongly reject the idea that this country belongs only to some of us or that any of our community members deserve less than equal rights or an equal opportunity to succeed.

Literacy NJ helps adult learners become U.S. Citizens
