Welcome to The Children’s Literacy Guild of Alabama!

   Thank you for your interest in The Children’s Literacy Guild of Alabama (CLG).  CLG was founded in 2003 by a group of dedicated women who wanted to do something about the alarming illiteracy rates in our state.  1 in 4 Alabama adults is functionally illiterate and 28% of our 4th graders read below grade level.  By reaching out to elementary students, we hope to stop the illiteracy problem in its tracks!

MISSION STATEMENT:

“To fight illiteracy among our school children by increasing awareness of the problem; providing volunteers in literacy programs; and raising money to support those programs.

   Please join us in our efforts to become a more literate society.  Help us help Alabama’s kids.  To learn more about CLG – Birmingham, visit our website at www.childrensliteracyguild.org
