What's the Big Deal?

Why focus on literacy?

Over 100,000 adults in Stanislaus County have difficulty using an ATM machine or reading a bus schedule. Not being able to read well greatly affects so much in a person's life, such as their ability to find a job, read to their child, and even fill out health forms.

Through a wide range of no-cost literacy services, like reading, writing, math, life, English language, technology, college, and work skills, LearningQuest helps a diverse population of learners meet their needs and achieve their personal and employment-related goals. (Hablamos español)
