Boston Adult Literacy Fund Technical Assistance

The Boston Adult Literacy Fund provides free technical assistance to any community-based literacy program in Greater Boston. We know it is crucial to build the organizational capacity of literacy programs. Helping literacy programs grow stronger leads to more vital and resilient neighborhoods and provides leadership for other community organizations.

The Boston Adult Literacy Fund gives technical assistance through consultations, workshops, and on-site mentoring. Topics include: board development, proposal writing, special event planning, donor solicitation and cultivation, and community involvement.

Since some of the most effective assistance programs can receive comes from their peers, the Boston Adult Literacy Fund holds a yearly Sharing Meeting of all its funded programs. Two adult learners, a teacher, and an administrator from each program come together to discuss topics they chose as critical to their functioning.
