Oakland Literacy Council has been designated as a new chapter of the National Adult Education Honor Society and inducted its first 48 learners into the chapter to recognize their extraordinary commitment to improving their skills.
These learners were selected for membership because they logged at least 100 hours of study in the program year that ended June 30, 2024 and because they demonstrated a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. Several learners overcome significant obstacles and hardships on the way to this achievement.

The honor society was founded in 1991 to provide meaningful recognition to deserving adult education students, to improve their employment opportunities, and develop student ambassadors. The new inductees received a lapel pin, a certificate, and letters of recommendation they can include with applications for employment or educational aid.
