Thank you Patrick and @senator_jordan for your support of #adultedu funding! Current ALE funding only serves 3% of NYers in need with adult education. Let's continue to celebrate students' successes and invest in their futures. #LiteracyLiftsNY

Carmen lives in Prospect Lefferts Garden and studies English at our program. She moved to U.S. from Honduras for her children's education. Now that she's a student too, she has big plans! She wants to go to college and become a U.S. citizen. Please restore and increase AdultLiteracyEducation (ALE) funding to support our newest New Yorkers. #LiteracyLiftsNY

#Greenpoint resident, Ms. Farooqi shares that now that her 3 children are grown and had a good education, it is now her time to get a good education. She wants to improve her English to help others who are immigrants too and to finish her degree. You can do it! Please invest $25 million in AdultLiteracyEducation (ALE). Adult education is essential! @nygovcuomo @cheastie @nyccal @andreastewartcousins #LiteracyLiftsNY

Our students and staff met with Alex Flood from the office of @patriciafahy109 . Our ESOL classes would not be possible without AM Fahy's ongoing leadership and support for ALE! Our students were excited to share with you the impact these classes have on their daily lives. Please invest $25 million for ALE funding for programs like us! #LiteracyLiftsNY

Meet our next three students, Aunchanutda, Mara, and Karen. Aunchanutda believes that speaking English will support her in a better life and having a good job in America.

Parkchester resident, Fernando is currently a school bus driver and a driver for access-a-ride. His daughter asked why he is working as a driver now since he used to an elementary school teacher of 17 years in his country. She gave him the encouragement to sign up for English classes with us to improve his language skills. He hopes to work in a school again one day. Invest in ALE Adult Literacy Education funding at $25 million, @nygovcuomo @cheastie @andreastewartcousins #LiteracyLiftsNY

Hear from Marco, Magda, and Silvia. Marco, a native of Quito, Ecuador, wants to be an English teacher in the future. Magda already has the relevant experience to work at the United Nations but need to improve her English language skills. Silvia wants to start her own catering company. Making friends is hard during the pandemic but they are able to make friends and have the encouragement to improve in their ESOL classes every day. Invest in our new immigrants futures by investing in ALE. #LiteracyLiftsNY @univsettlement

Eloisa wants to become a motivational speaker. Xuebing lost her job as a nail salon worker during the pandemic. Her new goal is to work in cosmetic sales. English is essential for her so she can better communicate with her customers. Invest $25 million in Adult Literacy Education (ALE) and invest in our students' futures! #LiteracyLiftsNY @univsettlement

Happy Lunar New Year to all our friends and students who celebrate. Welcoming the year of the ox! No classes today and Saturday. #lunarnewyear
