Behind the scenes:
Supporting Adult Math Success
Together, we can help more adults build the math skills they need – and the futures they deserve.
Your support helps more adults build strong math skills.
At The Literacy Project, we know that math can be a big hurdle – but it’s also a key to independence and opportunity. From budgeting to job applications, math helps adults take control of their lives.
You can help someone grow their confidence with math.
Our classes are small, encouraging, and built around real needs. Students might be learning how to work with percentages, understand bills, solve everyday problems, or prepare for the HiSET. We meet learners where they are.
Your organization can help expand access to free math and literacy programs.
With support from volunteers and donors, students gain the confidence to keep going – in learning, in work, and in life. When one person succeeds, it inspires others to keep learning too.
Help us celebrate these everyday victories.
