Community Sponsors & Partners

For more than 40 years, Literacy for Life has provided free, one-on-one English and literacy tutoring for adults across San Luis Obispo County.
Our programs are sustained by generous local businesses, foundations, and individuals who share our belief that everyone deserves the chance to read, write, and thrive.

When adults gain literacy skills, they strengthen their families, improve their job opportunities, and enrich our entire community.
