Brunner Center Battles Adult Illiteracy

Illiteracy continues to be an issue for many adults.  It affects their lives in some big ways—the employment they receive, the people they communicate with. One area organization is fighting illiteracy head on through education services for adults.  Jacki Mayer is the executive director at Brunner.  This week we sat down for a conversation about the services they offer and how they’re changing lives.

The Brunner Literacy Center is holding a 5K run/walk November 1st 9am at Englewood MetroPark.  For information you can check out Brunner Literacy.org
