🚍 Fuel the Future 📚
For many adult learners, getting to classes, tutoring, or testing centers isn't just about motivation—it’s about transportation.
Mid-State Literacy Council is collecting CATA bus tickets and Uber/Lyft gift cards to help adult students access the reading, writing, math, technology and communication skills needed to achieve their employment, healthcare, and life goals.
🎯 Help get them there - so they can go anywhere.
