Indy Reads builds literacy, English language, and job readiness skills to empower adults and their families to reach their full potential

In pursuit of our vision of 100% literacy for all, 
Indy Reads’ staff and volunteers partner with our adult learners to help build the literacy and language skills they need to more fully participate in their community, support their children’s education, earn their HSE diplomas, enter job training programs, and obtain industry-recognized job certifications.  

Our mission is supported by donations and purchases in our community bookstore.
