Mission Statement
Chicago Citywide Literacy Coalition is one of three delegate agencies for the new CityKey municipal ID program, spearheaded by the Office of the City Clerk, aims to unlock the city for all of Chicago’s 2.7 million residents. The card is a three-in-one valid government ID, Ventra, and Chicago Public Library card that provides discounts at local restaurants, museums, and shops. As Clerk Anna Valencia said in our Literacy Blog, the CityKey aims to connect Chicagoans to many of the great things the city has to offer.
Description
The Chicago Citywide Literacy Coalition helps Chicago’s Adult Education organizations secure resources and training so that underserved adult learners can become economically successful, and reframes adult basic education as a critical public policy issue.
