The Gainesville-Hall County Alliance for Literacy

The Gainesville/Hall County Alliance for Literacy was formed in 1989 and serves as the umbrella agency for all literacy concerns in our community.

The Alliance partners with Lanier Technical College’s Adult Education Center to garner community support. The Alliance provides funds for instruction, materials/curriculum, and GED and continuing education scholarships.

The Center provides free educational programs for adults 16 years and up who have not graduated from high school or whose native language is not English.

Over 56,600 students have been served and 5,767 GED’s have been attained.

The Alliance’s collaborative event Dancing For A Cause raises funds and awareness of literacy concerns in our community.
