Adult Literacy Advocates (ALA) is a Capital Area United Way Community Partner that has provided education programs in the Baton Rouge area since 1966. ALA provides a variety of classes to help our students achieve personal, work and family goals by improving their literacy skills. As a community group, we also seek to increase economic development and the overall quality of life in Greater Baton Rouge through helping others further their education to become more productive, qualified workers, neighbors, friends and family who can contribute to our community, state, and nation.
From our Students"Now, I’m preparing myself to take the HiSET test. I’ve always felt that I couldn’t do it, but now, enrolling at ALA has helped me so much. I’m thankful to ALA for the help it’s given me. There are still people out there who can’t read or do what I’m able to do now. ALA helps them just like it did me – to look at themselves better than they did in the past and feel hopeful about what the future holds."
ALA HiSET Preparation Student “I came to ALA to better my reading ability and to be able to be self-sufficient. Now, instead of just looking at a book, I can read it better. ALA has helped me to see how the world looks through books. I can now comprehend and understand how the world works. If someone wants to come to classes at ALA, I would say, “Take the class! It will help you.”
