Accreditation

Meeting the highest standards for adult literacy education.

The Literacy Council has the distinction of being accredited by ProLiteracy America.

ProLiteracy Accreditation is the only national accreditation service in the adult education and literacy field.   To receive accreditation, and to be recertified every four years, we must meet a set of rigorous standards:

• Superior professional leadership
• Effective programs
• Committed governing boards
• Outstanding volunteer support

Accreditation raises the credibility and enhances the visibility of literacy organizations in their communities and as part of the greater adult education system.

The Book

By Fred Chappell

Poet Laureate Emeritus of North Carolina

 

It waits as patiently as a forest trail

To take you to a place you must have heard about,

Quiet and exciting, a glade to be alone in,

With those who came before.

At first the journey is one slow letter at a time,

But sooner than you thought, you clip along,

Your pace growing smarter with each step.

 

You never arrive at an end

Because you never want to,

And a thousand other trails lead off from this one path,

Mysterious, inviting, alive with shadowy light.

 

The book will go with you as far as you desire.

And if you like, I will come with you.
