Indy Reads is a literacy nonprofit organization that offers adults classes where they can learn to improve their English learning, language, and literacy skills, as well as their high school equivalency diplomas and workforce credentials.

To understand the importance of what Indy Reads does, you only need to think about what you are doing right now. You are reading. It is a process so automatic for most of us, that we rarely think about its power. People with low literacy must gather information through talking, listening, and remembering. If they misunderstand initially or forget, that information is lost to them.

Adult literacy education helps break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, opening the door for adults to navigate daily challenges, access employment, pursue higher education, make informed decisions about health and well-being, and actively engage in civic life.
