NCFL has teamed up with the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and ProLiteracy to create a new national literacy directory to help people find local adult literacy programs and GED® testing centers in their areas.

The web-based directory, available at www.nationalliteracydirectory.org, contains more than 8,000 listings. Visit the directory now to search for program listings, or click the "Feedback" link on the homepage to add a program listing.

Information from the directory also can be accessed through a toll-free number that people can call 24 hours per day, seven days a week, to get a local program referral in English and Spanish.

"This initiative is elevating the likelihood of success for the entire family," said Sharon Darling, president & founder of NCFL. "Together, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, ProLiteracy and NCFL are giving parents unprecedented access to find the help they need. Success is at their fingertips and now just a phone call away because literacy is the foundation for economic well-being and a strong community."

A national ad campaign, created by the Ad Council and the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, will promote the directory and toll-free number.

This is just the latest NCFL initiative generously funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, which has a long history of supporting NCFL and many other literacy efforts.
