About Us

---

Since 1987, Superior Adult Learning (formerly “Program Read”) has helped adults in our community build the literacy and basic skills they need to gain confidence, improve independence, and secure employment. We are a non-profit organization, led by a volunteer Board of Directors, a small team of

employees and volunteer tutors.

All services are free of charge to eligible Learners.

We offer instruction, tutoring and self-directed resources to help Learners develop key competencies that are important in everyday life, including:

• Finding and using information
• Communicating ideas and information
• Understanding and using numbers
• Using digital technology
• Managing learning
• Engaging with others

Instruction can occur in our office, online, or in other community locations that have access to meeting space and WiFi access. All services are FREE to eligible learners.
