Center for Literacy (CFL) disrupts the cycle of poverty by providing the knowledge and skills for parents to succeed in postsecondary education, to compete in the 21st century economy, and to support the educational attainment of their children. Founded as a West Philadelphia tutoring program in 1968, CFL quickly expanded to other areas of Philadelphia in need of adult tutoring. The demand for tutoring services soon exceeded the availability of volunteer tutors, and CFL began adding classroom instruction for adult education. Preparation classes for the GED® test soon followed, and in a few short years CFL was offering free neighborhood classes throughout Philadelphia. For over 25 years, CFL’s English as a second language (ESL) classes and tutoring program have helped thousands of immigrants gain the literacy and citizenship skills to navigate and flourish in their new homeland. Currently, CFL provides a range of free community literacy programs to best serve our students: Adult Education classes to improve the literacy skills of our learners and to serve as a pipeline into our classes to prepare for the GED® or High School Equivalency; comprehensive family literacy programming; English as a Second Language (ESL)/English Language Acquisition – with beginning, intermediate, and advanced English classes; Opportunity Youth – programming is done in partnership with the Philadelphia Youth Network’s (PYN) E³ Power Centers, where CFL literacy specialists provide literacy services to out-of-school youth, ages 16-21; and small group or one-on-one tutoring.
