Message from CEO
The Learning Source believes literacy is the single greatest personal resource. With it, individuals can continue their education, build careers, and become strong members of the community in which they live. Without basic literacy, individual barriers become insurmountable, jobs difficult to attain, and communities weakened. The Learning Source assists adults in need of basic literacy, providing a second chance at a better life with accessible opportunities.
Your generous support allows us to increase educational opportunities and provide pathways to success for the adults and families we serve. Your support not only allows us to continue to serve, but also gives us the opportunity to grow and evolve. We are extremely grateful for your generous giving.
Sincerely,
Dr. Aimee Callahan
Cheif Executive Officer
Testimonials
"While attending classes with The Learning Source, I was able to pass the English proficiency test I needed to get my dream job. Now I have my dream job, I am a correctional officer for a Colorado State Prison. I am very thankful for this opportunity because I have the career I dreamed of having in the United States."
“I started learning English in the Family Literacy Program at my daughter’s school three years ago, and it has changed my life! I can communicate better at work, talk with my doctor without a translator, and understand everything at school meetings. I feel like I am really a part of the community now."
The Learning Source promotes and provides educational opportunities through collaborative partnerships for adults and families to support their future achievements. The Learning Source believes education is essential to people's freedom, their confidence, and their ability to perform in the family, community and workplace.
We provide opportunities for motivated adult learners and families to attain educational goals for themselves and their children. Programs include Family Literacy, Adult Basic Education, High School Equivalency, English Language Acquisition, and Digital Navigation. These programs are made possible by dedicated and well-trained volunteer tutors and are led by staff instructors throughout Colorado.
Sister Cecilia Linenbrink founded The Learning Source in 1964. The nonprofit program began in a church basement with only 40 students, 16 volunteers and no paid staff. Today, The Learning Source is the oldest and largest adult education agency in Colorado and the mission established by Sister Cecilia remains steadfast.
Sister Cecilia was an amazing woman who was truly called to serve those in need through education. Her groundbreaking work with adult learners made an incredible impact on those she served. Our team of experienced and passionate teachers, staff and volunteers are proud to uphold and advance Sister Cecilia’s legacy and maintain The Learning Source’s history of excellence.
