Indy Reads is empowering adults and their families through literacy in central Indiana
Indy Reads’ mission is to build the literacy, English language, and job readiness skills to empower adults and families to reach their full potential. And, our vision is simple: 100% literacy for all.
We are working to make our vision of 100% literacy for all a reality by providing:
- Free adult literacy classes,
- English language classes and tutoring for adults, and,
- Workforce certification programs and skills training to adults through our virtual and in-person Community Classrooms at Indy Reads and other locations throughout Marion County.

“I used to go get on the bus and I’d try to read some of the signs that I would go past. Now, I would go down and I’ll see that sign says ‘Adams’. I would look at the letters. Then I would always try to break the letters down. I can do that now and I couldn’t before!”
– Michelle S., Literacy Foundations Student
