Week of Giving 2025

Literacy is a basic human right.

For 30 years, Literacy Works has been advancing adult education and access to information in Chicago and beyond. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary and the evolution of our programming, we invite you to join us for our Week of Giving April 28 - May 2nd, 2025. 

Follow along through email and on our social media as we tell the story of our Community Literacy and Clear Language Lab programs - because we believe that everyone should be equipped with the education and information they need to thrive.

Below are some of the key events and topics you can look forward to learning about during the week. Be sure to join us!

 

  • Join us in celebrating our Inspiration Award honoree, a Community Literacy member who will be recognized for their dedication to providing quality adult education.

  • Check out our Clear Language Lab's Community Leader Honoree. We are proud to honor one of our clients for their leadership in communication equity and clear language every year.

 

  • Learn about how to get involved with Literacy Works and connect with a neighbor in your community as a volunteer tutor.

 

  • Get inspired during A Book That Changed My Life at Sketchbook Brewery on May 2nd at 7:30 pm! We will wrap up our Week of Giving with our signature storytelling event.

We have set a goal to raise $35,000 this week. Help us reach our goal so our members and clients can reach theirs.
