Rooted In Literacy
The Chicago Citywide Literacy Coalition (CCLC) was created by adult literacy programs 20 years ago to network, share resources, and raise awareness. Our members have program offerings allowing adult learners to continue thriving within their communities to address the social determinants of health, work and connection.
In 2023, CCLC’s board unanimously voted to change the organization's name to scaleLIT. Unveiled at our annual fundraiser, Beyond Books, scaleLIT reflects the organization’s vision to expand services to help organizations use adult literacy best practices to more effectively serve the community.
Under the new name, scaleLIT will continue to assist its members in advancing work in its core program areas of career pathways, digital literacy, and health literacy. scaleLIT will also continue offering direct services in career pathway navigation and digital literacy.
scaleLIT's mission is to help adult education organizations secure resources and training so that under-resourced adult learners can become economically successful, and reframe adult basic education as a critical public policy issue.
