In Wayne County, 1 in 3 adults struggles with literacy skills.
Siena Literacy Center is changing that statistic. We work with more than 200 students each year to help them strengthen skills in reading, math, English as a Second Language, computer skills, and more. Siena's services are free of charge and powered by trained literacy volunteers. Increased academic skills empower adults improve their employment options, meet their personal goals, and assist their children to achieve their own educations.
"What we do is a call that touches the individual, their family, and our community," shared Ed Moylan, Board Chair.
