Our mission is to help break the cycle of intergenerational illiteracy in the Hayward Community by supporting the Literacy Plus Program for adults and Children.
ABOUT HAYWARD LITERACY PLUS COUNCIL
We are Hayward Literacy Plus Council. Our commitment is beyond charity and into the communities that we serve.
The Literacy Plus Program is a nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation that was initiated by the staff of the Hayward Public Library in 1985. It is dedicated to improving the literacy skills of the Hayward community. The early Program focused
on illiterate adults, but other services for children have been
added, as tutors and staff became
available and as other literacy needs have been assessed.
Through the work of Council members, the Hayward Literacy Plus Program was granted 501(c)(3) status as a nonprofit organization, allowing it to qualify for grants.
Since 1986, trained tutors have helped over 3000 adults improve their basic skills. Currently, about 300 adults are tutored each year.

One of the best activities I've chosen since retirement is becoming a tutor of Literacy Plus. It's rewarding because I see progress. It's a wonderful program and very fulfilling.
I am a tutor of Literacy Plus because I love meeting people and getting a chance to get out there in my community.
In English Conversation Circles, people gain self-confidence by practicing English as their second language. The circles offer an understanding and motivating environment. No one feels judged. Everyone learns from one another. Everyone's language skills grow. Join the English Conversation Circles. I'm doing it and I love it!
