The Portland Metro area cannot afford to lose another adult literacy program!

Multnomah County's proposed 2018 budget will eliminate the Londer Learning Center at the end of this year. Londer serves 500 students each year in their literacy and GED prep programs. 

Please join a rally in support of Londer

The Londer Learning Center opened in September 1993 as one of 11 demonstration projects for corrections clients funded under the National Literacy Act of 1991. 

Londer is the only program in Portland offering basic skills and GED prep with professional teachers outside the format of the community college. They receive calls almost daily from individuals wanting GED help whom they aren't able to serve.

Literacy is a right, not a luxury, and it affects everyone 

A January 2003 report of the Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that 30 percent of probationers have no high school diploma: Education and Correctional Populations.
