The Literacy Alliance serves Columbus, Georgia and the surrounding community. The organization began as the Columbus Literate Community Program in 1990 as part of the State of Georgia's Certified Literate Community Program  (CLCP). We have been successfully facilitating the growth of the literacy levels of our residents through community partnerships developed over the years.

In 2000 Columbus/ Muscogee County officially was recognized as the first "Certified Literate Community" having surpassed the state guidelines. For more details about this state program visit CLCP: Georgia State Program .
 
Our programs serve a variety of age groups. They range from assisting pre-k students with developing their vocabulary skills to encouraging adults to return to school to get their GED®. A key part of our work is to create community awareness as to the effects low literacy levels have on a community as well as an individual's ability to provide for themselves and their self-esteem.

Our staff consists of two members. Executive Director Barbara Moushon has been with the organization since 2003. Pamela McKee recently transitioned from a volunteer to Volunteer Coordinator/ Administrative Assistant. Welcome Pamela!
