OUR MISSION
The purpose of EDU-LINK is to support, promote, and teach reading and comprehension skills by funding outside tutoring services to individuals and families identified as needing extra assistance. This effort creates equitable access for all students and families to specialized tutoring services, regardless of their socioeconomic position.
54% OF ADULTS
According to the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the U.S. have prose literacy below the 6th-grade level. Therefore, the population we serve has ~58,518 adults who cannot read and comprehend simple instruction manuals
SUPPORT OUR MISSION
EDU-LINK was founded on July 10th 2020 and has three areas of concentration: youth literacy, adult literacy and tutor training. Our youth literacy effort serves students in grades 1-12. The youth literacy focus, alleviates the financial burden on families who would otherwise not be able to afford to enroll their child in an intensive literacy tutoring program.
