Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Literacy kc offers a welcoming community for adults and families to improve literacy skills and enhance quality of life. Each term, staff, tutors, volunteers, and instructors build a collaborative learning environment where adult students expand their reading, writing, math, and digital skills. This personalized approach allows students to shape the instruction they receive and delivers a balanced curriculum, leading to improved literacy and life skills. Our model has three key parts. Instructor led: qualified instructors teach relevant, responsive, and level-appropriate curriculum. Tutor-driven: trained volunteer tutors support the instructors and help meet individual student needs. Student-centered: each student identifies academic and personal goals and instructors design lessons to help them meet these goals. Our programming includes high school equivalency preparation classes, english language learning, excel adult high school (in partnership with kc public library and mid-continent public library), digital literacy classes, workforce development, and the let's read family reading program. During 2024-2025, lkc ran 78 classes with 1,875 students having 115,000 student instruction hours. Of these students, 853 demonstrated a gain in proficiency through testing, passed their hiset/ged, or received a certification. Fifty-eight achieved their high school equivalency and 107 students participated in ietp.”
