Webinars Series on Public Policy Advocacy
The National Coalition for Literacy has a unique opportunity to provide a series of Webinars, in collaboration with NCL members, on public policy and advocacy related issues. These Webinars are available to NCL members and their constituents only. Descriptions of the webinars, registration information, lists of guest experts, handouts and Webinar archives are available for each Webinar.
Symposia on Partnerships and Advocacy
Regional advocacy symposia are hosted in partnership with state leaders in geographically diverse states. Participants at these events explore current adult education advocacy information, strategies, and resources and are eligible to apply for two advocacy infrastructure building grants. Past symposia have resulted in the creation of state-wide advocacy networks, organization of legislative events and rallies, and increased grassroots advocacy activities and outcomes—including increased state funding for adult education and literacy.
The NCL Literacy Leadership Awards are a centerpiece of NCL’s advocacy efforts, recognizing individuals and organizations that have made extraordinary contributions to improving literacy in the United States. Recognition and reward affirms the commitment of adult education advocates and attracts and informs new advocates and policy makers. Legislators, business champions of adult literacy, celebrities, advocates, and adult learner leaders have been recognized for their adult literacy leadership contributions. Articles on the awards are available and include photos and video segments of the events.
