By supporting literacy needs, SCALE works to provide the tools necessary to vote, to speak out about issues that matter to us, to protect us against discrimination and help our children succeed in school.

At SCALE we believe literacy is more than just reading and writing. We support increasing literacy skills so that learners can achieve their goals and be empowered to be more effective advocates for both themselves and their communities.

We promote a participatory, learner-centered approach to literacy in which power in the program and in the classroom is shared with learners, volunteers, and community members. Shared decision making – about lesson content, choice of reading materials, or program evaluation – makes our outreach more relevant to individual and community literacy needs.
