“I am very happy with the career I have now. I would not have been able to pass the English proficiency test without The Learning Source. I am very thankful for this opportunity because I have the career I dreamed of having in the United States.”

We change lives through education.
People from across the state come to The Learning Source to improve their literacy and English language skills.
The free classes, resources and support The Learning Source provides make an impact on the life of each student we serve. Whether they want to pass the GED test and earn their high school equivalency credential, learn English, read to their children or get a better job and support their families - the impact is real, personal and life changing.
The personal impact also translates into statewide and national benefits such as higher earning potential, lower unemployment rates and a decreased risk of suffering from the effects of poverty.
More than 43 million adults in the U.S. cannot read, write or do basic math above a third-grade level.* Nearly 450,000 Coloradans need help to build literacy skills.
Nationally, bringing all adults up to a sixth grade reading level would generate an additional $2.2 trillion in annual income for our county.*
An estimated $106 to $238 billion in national health care costs each year are linked to low adult literacy skills.*
It’s time to change these statistics. Together - we can make a difference. One person and one life at a time.
“At The Learning Source I was afforded the opportunity to achieve something truly valuable after so many years of bad decisions. Getting my GED marked the first time in years that I believed I might actually have a future worth moving toward. The support I got from the people at The Learning Source went beyond covering the material. They made me feel like I wasn't too foolish to go beyond that. That's a huge part of the reason I'm currently passing my classes in my first semester of college.”
