Partners

  
    We are grateful to these organizations for walking alongside Aspire to address this root cause of poverty.

Aspire’s partners understand that low literacy is a critical piece of a much larger puzzle of inequity. If a person grows up never learning fundamental skills like reading and writing, they may not be able to get a job that provides them security. If they are not financially secure, they have a much higher likelihood of experiencing homelessness, incarceration, illness, and shorter life expectancy. These tragic outcomes become our civic focus, while low literacy is being overlooked as a primary root-cause. When we prioritize literacy as a key component of a stable community, our cities thrive.
