Why We Run:
Did you know 1 in 5 adults nationwide struggles with basic literacy? That means reading a job application, understanding a prescription, or helping their child with homework can be a daily challenge. At The Literacy Project of North Idaho, we believe literacy changes lives. Join us in making that change possible—one step, one book, and one learner at a time.
