Join with urban coalitions around the US to build our collective capacity to transform lives.
In cities and urban counties around the US, significant numbers of adults can benefit from adult foundational education (AFE), such as basic literacy, high-school equivalency, and English language education, to advance their work potential and transform their family and community. Providers of adult education services in these cities and urban counties are partnering with other service providers, such as employment agencies, prisoner re-entry agencies, immigration and refugee programs, and more, to better support the adult learners in their communities.
The Urban Alliance for Adult Literacy provides a forum for information-sharing, advocacy, joint projects, and community-building for coalitions of adult foundational education practitioners, advocates, and other stakeholders serving US urban communities. Through webinars, virtual meetings, and an online discussion group, the Urban Alliance is helping more adults in urban communities gain access to the diverse services they need to transform their lives.
Join Urban Alliance participants at an upcoming webinar and learn how other urban coalitions are building capacity and effectively coordinating services in their communities.

These coalitions, collectives, mayoral initiatives, and councils are part of the national Urban Alliance for Adult Literacy and are collaborating to share useful ideas, information, and inspiration they can use to strengthen AFE efforts in their own cities and states, as well as nationally. Join them in advancing adult literacy in urban communities across the US.
