The Literacy Project Celebrates 40 Years of Opening Doors to Education for Adults

NORTHAMPTON — The Literacy Project will host a 40th-anniversary celebration to recognize its four decades of work transforming the lives of local adults striving for brighter futures. The event will be held on Friday, April 4 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Progression Brewing, located at 9 Pearl St., Northampton.

The Literacy Project is a nonprofit organization that provides classes and programs for adults (ages 16 and over) who do not have their high-school diploma and want to improve their reading, writing, math, and digital-literacy skills, complete their GED/HiSet, and prepare to enroll in college or secure higher-paying jobs.

This event will feature raffles, food, dancing, and live music by Carol Devine and the Mighty Fine. It’s an opportunity for anyone in the community to connect, celebrate, and learn more about the Literacy Project.

“Forty years is a monumental accomplishment,” said Colleen Kucinski, executive director of the Literacy Project. “Celebrating it with our community, students, and our current and former staff who have been our great supporters makes this a really special occasion.”

The event is free, and registration is required. All are welcome to attend, from long-time supporters and donors to anyone who simply believes in the power of education. To register and learn more about the event, visit www.literacyproject.org.

Greenfield Savings Bank is a silver sponsor of this event. To learn more about sponsorship opportunities, call Colleen Kucinski at (413) 774-3934.
