The Literacy Assistance Center (LAC) is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that is dedicated to strengthening and expanding the adult education system. Since 1983, the LAC has been working to improve the quality of basic education, high school equivalency, and English language programs for marginalized adults and out-of-school youth. They provide teacher training, curriculum development support, data management, and leadership support for adult education practitioners in various settings.
The LAC also has a special initiative called Literacy Justice Initiative (LJI), which aims to advance adult literacy education as part of a broader vision for racial, social, and economic justice. They collaborate with community partners to develop transformative actions and advocate for increased investment in adult education in New York City. Additionally, the LAC has published reports and engaged in projects related to investing in quality adult literacy programs, digital resilience, and workforce preparation.
