M-POWER Literacy is the largest adult literacy program in the state. We provide one-on-one literacy instruction to adults who want to improve their reading skills.

With improved skills, these adults can find better jobs, read bedtime stories to their children or grandchildren, and read the Bible for the first time. Knowledge is power. Reading is empowerment.

If you can read, you can teach someone to read!
