Join us in empowering adults to achieve their educational goals and transform their lives
Adult Education is at risk—and we need YOU to take action now.
COABE is our national association supporting adult education, and they are providing avenues for people to voice their support.
COABE is running 4 powerful advocacy campaigns so everyone can get involved, no matter your role. But here’s the truth: we can’t just hope learners see a post.
Educators, please reach out directly to your students—past or present—and help them choose one of these campaigns.
