The Literacy Assistance Center (LAC) is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that has been dedicated to strengthening and expanding the adult education system since 1983. Their mission is to advance adult literacy as a core value in society and a foundation for equal opportunity and social justice. LAC provides a range of services including teacher training, curriculum development support, data management, and leadership support for adult education practitioners in various settings.
The organization also leads the Literacy Justice Initiative, which aims to promote adult literacy education as part of a broader vision for racial, social, and economic justice. Through this initiative, LAC works to engage adult literacy programs and students in social justice movements, build solidarity with the wider social justice community, and significantly expand educational opportunities for the 2.2 million adult New Yorkers in need of literacy justice.
