WHAT IS A CERTIFIED LITERATE COMMUNITY PROGRAM?
In 1990, the Certified Literate Community Program (CLCP) was launched to combat the problems caused by low adult literacy levels. Improved literacy rates help the state attract new businesses and increase self-sufficiency among all residents. CLCPs are umbrella organizations that bring together a network of volunteers and all community sectors to meet local literacy needs.
​
CLCPs are dedicated to fostering economic development, enhancing workplace skills, empowering parents to support their children's education, and enabling adults to acquire English language proficiency. They help individuals understand and follow prescription instructions for themselves and their families, navigate maps, interpret road signs, and develop essential computer skills. At its core, the CLCP promotes lifelong learning and empowers people to gain new skills at any stage of life. Their success relies on collaborative efforts to achieve these goals.
​
As a CLCP member organization, Adult Literacy Jackson is responsible for securing local community support and other sources of funding; implementing a variety of literacy programs; and executing successful strategies to help residents achieve educational and employment goals.
HOW DOES ADULT LITERACY JACKSON PROVIDE SERVICES?
Most CLCPs are non-profit organizations whose main mission is to improve adult literacy, and must build relationships with local literacy providers to map out the best use of resources already available. They must acquire additional resources to coordinate community support, robust volunteer programs and reliable program funding. As a CLCP, we are always on the lookout for ways to provide wrap-around services to support our students in the areas they need additional help.

FOR EXAMPLE
Adult Literacy Jackson collaborates with local agencies to address barriers that hinder student success. For example, imagine an Adult Education Instructor is working with a student who struggles to pass an exam because they can't read the computer screen after breaking their glasses. Unemployed and unable to afford new glasses or exam fees, the student faces significant challenges. In response, Adult Literacy Jackson covers the cost of all practice tests and exam fees, while Family Connection steps in to help purchase new glasses before the next exam. Additionally, we might reach out to the community to explore options for getting the student's car repaired at an affordable, discounted rate, ensuring they can continue their educational journey without further obstacles.
