＂NCFL’s mission is to address our nation’s literacy challenges by engaging all family members in learning, with a primary focus on parents and children living in poverty.＂ NCFL views education as a family affair. We see every parent as an asset; every family as a resource. By working together, we help families create their own learning networks. Whether it is obtaining a GED(R) credential, reading on grade level, or pursuing higher education, the results pave the way for economic self-sufficiency and propel families toward achieving their dreams, and our country toward collective success. Since 1991, more than 2 million families in more than 100 communities across the country have been impacted by programs developed by NCFL - our team has pioneered the concept of families learning and serving together to raise literacy levels and improve communities. Vision and Mission NCFL envisions a world in which all families are provided opportunities to improve their lives and become strong contributors to society.
