We were born out of an interaction between the founders and an older gentleman who was having trouble reading and understanding his tax forms. Within several weeks, the founders began helping an increasing amount of local citizens with understanding their taxes in addition to other documents. It quickly became apparent that there was a literacy need beyond simple tax preparation, so the founders began to address this need by providing literacy tutoring to the community at large. We became a 501(c)(3) non-profit literacy organization and opened up numerous sites throughout San Antonio having served thousands of citizens since our inception in 2004.​

We improve the literacy skills of adults who may struggle in traditional classroom settings by utilizing one-on-one and small-group learning models. In addition to providing tutoring in basic math and reading, we also offer tutoring in GED® preparation and English as a Second Language (ESL). Enrolled students also have access to various resources including digital literacy classes, resource fairs, and career counseling.
