🙌 Our Mission

• Literacy Statistics: One in five adults nationwide cannot read a newspaper, a job application, or a prescription bottle. This is a shocking statistic for communities around our country, and Idaho is no exception.
• Community Connection: Adults with low literacy skills are parents, neighbors, employees, and friends. Each of us is likely to know someone who cannot read or write.
• Changing Lives: Our mission is to change that through The Literacy Project of North Idaho by creating programs and resources to help adults achieve their literacy goals.
• Prizes: There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for our 5k and medals for our Kids Dash!
