Here's Our Community Impact: Kenosha Literacy Council

Kenosha Literacy Council is made up of teachers, learners, tutors, volunteers and donors who work together to improve adult literacy in Kenosha County because literacy is a basic human right and the foundation for lifelong learning.

In 2021, UWKC supported the expansion to 1,103 language class/tutor sessions for 707 KLC students. Most of KLC’s students (79 percent) are learning English as a second language but others (21 percent) are American-born, English speaking students. KLC teaches reading, writing and speaking skills to adults and families so they can achieve financial independence, good health and greater involvement in our community.

Through United Way's Community Investment grant program, we help support Kenosha Literacy Council's vital services, including language tutoring. To learn more about our nonprofit partners, click here to read the 2022 funding announcement.
