Impact & Mission

Our Mission

Literacy Minnesota connects people to transformative learning, sparks innovation in literacy and mobilizes change.

OUR VISION

A future where literacy eliminates injustice and strengthens communities.

Our CORE VALUES

  • LIFELONG LEARNING - We believe the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong journey and that we all have something to teach each other.
  • SELF DETERMINATION – We believe individuals have the power to create their own potential through teaching, learning, and community involvement.
  • JUSTICE - We believe advocacy is necessary to bring about systemic changes that address inequality and create more just communities.
  • EQUITY - We believe people of all identities, abilities and lived experiences deserve access to the transformative educational opportunities they need to thrive.
  • INNOVATION - We believe in responding to the ever-changing needs of our communities and take an expansive view of literacy to create new pathways for learning.

OUR LEARNING COMMUNITY
