The Saint Paul Community Literacy Consortium empowers the community by building literacy in a collaborative, inclusive, comprehensive manner. Enhanced literacy and improved basic skills support a high quality of life by providing preparation for meaningful employment and higher education, fostering better K12 outcomes and stronger families, and supporting economic development. SPCLC contributes significantly to workforce development by partnering statewide with DEED, the Ramsey County WIB, and other organizations.
SPCLC serves as a statewide resource for effective Adult Basic Education (ABE) programming, as a public policy resource at all levels, and as a national model for effective public/private collaboration to meet literacy needs.
SPCLC was categorized as among the top two percent of adult literacy programs nation-wide during a federal site visit.
