Siena Literacy Center

Siena Literacy Center provides effective education programs for adults seeking to improve their ability to successfully meet the challenges of everyday living by learning foundational skills in reading, writing, and math, and/or English as a Second Language in keeping with the Dominican commitment to education.

In Wayne County, 1 in 3 adults struggles with literacy skills.

Siena Literacy Center is changing that statistic. We work with more than 300 students each year to help them strengthen skills in reading, math, English as a Second Language, computer skills, and more. Siena's services are free of charge and powered by trained literacy volunteers. Increased academic skills empower adults improve their employment options, meet their personal goals, and assist their children to achieve their own educations.

"One of the really impressive things about Siena Literacy Center is our innovative programs that respond in ever changing ways to meet individual learners' needs." --Sister Ellen Burkhardt, O.P., Siena Board Member
