LAN (Literacy Action Network) is a statewide professional membership organization whose mission is to develop, improve, and expand adult literacy services by coordinating public policy advocacy, fostering statewide collaboration, facilitating professional development, and supporting quality Adult Basic Education (ABE). Every year, LAN hosts the the Summer Institute, Minnesota's largest adult basic education conference. The conference works to ensure that ABE professionals around the state are aware of practices and resources available to them and offers a space to share successes and struggles with peers. Summer Institute draws approximately 500 teachers, managers and staff each year for 80 concurrent sessions, three plenary sessions, a vendor fair and numerous opportunities to network and have fun with others in the field. We're looking forward to another great conference and seeing you all there in August!

We offer a variety of classes and career pathways at the Institute for refugee and immigrant adult learners in Minnesota.

We are incredibly proud of all our adult learners. Every milestone and every graduation means so much to us. We know our students have worked hard, made many sacrifices, and will go on to accomplish bigger and better things!

This week, we’re celebrating Adult Education and Family Literacy Week! During this time, we recognize the importance of equal access to education in building stronger, more stable futures for individuals and families in our community.

At Neighborhood House, we strive to help families build the skills they need not only to survive, but to thrive here in Minnesota, and an essential part of that work is the Adult Education program. Adult Education provides inclusive and accessible services to help participants overcome barriers and take meaningful steps toward greater stability, independence, and success for themselves and their families.

By supporting Adult Education at Neighborhood House, you’re creating opportunities for others while strengthening our community as a whole. Together, we can help build a future where everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. Visit https://give.neighborhoodhousemn.org/give/356809 to support education at Neighborhood House today. We also encourage you to contact your state legislator to let them know why adult education is important. To find your legislator, visit https://gis.lcc.mn.gov/iMaps/districts.
