Our Mission:

Learning Is For Tomorrow is a 501(c)3 nonprofit adult literacy organization. We are dedicated to providing quality literacy instruction and life-skills training to adult learners and assisting these individuals in becoming self-reliant life-long learners. We provide a learning environment which is supportive and incorporates best instructional practices.

LIFT educators and staff support learners by:

  • creating a spirit of community and cooperation
  • helping learners move toward greater self-confidence and greater independence
  • helping learners identify their goals and develop strategies to achieve them
  • centering the curriculum around the needs, interests and learning styles of students
  • encouraging learners and staff to teach and learn from each other
  • advocating for social change connected to the root causes of illiteracy

We welcome adult learners (age 16 and over) who are interested in attending our program, and others who support these values, to contact us by phone or email.
