About Centro Latino for Literacy
Founded in 1991, Centro Latino for Literacy was formed to address the pressing need for basic literacy instruction among Latino immigrants and it set out to bridge the chasm separating these non-literate immigrants from learning English and other vital skills by teaching them first to read and write in Spanish. Centro Latino for Literacy has taught basic literacy skills to more than 2,500 non-literate Latino youth and adults, and functional skills--such as basic math, grammar, financial literacy, health literacy and computer skills--to an additional 5,000 low-income Latinos.
