Funding innovation in adult literacy to change lives.

关于我们

Adult literacy can change everything – from earning potential, to a child’s academic success, to recidivism rates. At First Literacy we envision a world in which all adults are able to reach their full potential. We are committed to supporting the continuum of Adult Basic Education (ABE) by offering free professional development workshops for teachers, grants for innovative new programs, and scholarships to adults continuing to higher education or vocational training. Our goal is to ensure that adult learners and adult educators receive the support and resources they need to make our vision a reality. Since First Literacy was established, we have helped over 50,000 adults improve their lives through the power of education and allocated more than $6 million to support teachers and innovative literacy programs. Our impact is far-reaching and life-changing.

  • Don't miss the fun! Commit to sponsoring and forming a Bee team by Wednesday, March 12 and your team will be guaranteed a spot in the first round of pre-recorded play. Teams that commit after March 12 will have a chance to participate in the live lightning round on April 3, but will miss the first round of competitive play. Anyone who would like to form a spelling team can do so. A minimum tax-deductible sponsorship of $5,000 funds a team of three. Proceeds from the event support adult literacy. The First Literacy 35th Annual Spelling Bee will be held at the State Street Channel Center in Boston! Check out our website to see see the buzz behind round 1! We hope you will join us for the fun. https://buff.ly/3NDGQyO #supportadultliteracy #BeeCauseLiteracy

  • First Literacy grants serve as a vital link, allowing organizations like FRIENDS OF THE RAFAEL HERNANDEZ SCHOOL INC to provide quality education and support to underserved communities in Massachusetts. ESL for Educational Settings: Curriculum Design and Implementation, proudly supported by First Literacy, is a cornerstone of the Primeras Maestras Program, which trains low-income Spanish-speaking parents from the Hernández School and other Boston Public Schools to become dual language educators. The program has been a huge success yielding significant results. With two years of funding from First Literacy and support from the City of Boston, the program has evolved into a structured and impactful initiative.
