A panel of ProLiteracy judges chose the top 10 national finalists from hundreds of stories and submissions that were sent in from around the world. The video and story submissions are posted to the ProLiteracy website and have been opened up to a public vote at http://www.proliteracy.org. Each week, the finalists have been narrowed down, and we are down to the Top 5 right now, with the first-, second-, and third-place winners to be announced at any time.

“The local literacy organizations are the heroes who make adult learners’ dreams come true,” said Kevin Morgan, President and CEO of ProLiteracy. “Choosing the top finalists out of so many worthwhile organizations was very difficult. They all deserve to be recognized.”

The top five adult literacy organization finalists are:
LearningQuest – Stanislaus Literacy Centers in Modesto, California
MICA, INC, an adult literacy program in Africa
Seeds of Literacy in Columbus, OH
Tarrant Literacy Coalition in Fort Worth, Texas
Vision Literacy in Santa Clara County, CA
