ProLiteracy's 2018-19 Annual Statistical Report is here! The report is a compilation of the data received from the Annual Member Survey that ProLiteracy Organizational Members are asked to complete. A few highlights and trends from this year’s report include: 55% of programs have student waiting lists—down 13 percentage points in 5 years The number of programs utilizing PAID instructors has increased by 4 percentage points since last year 36% of programs offer digital literacy—up 17 percentage points in only 8 years ProLiteracy uses this valuable data to advocate nationally on behalf of its member organizations. We also encourage members to use Statistical Report data to assist with their advocacy, awareness, and fundraising efforts locally. Proliteracy appreciates the time and effort our Organizational Members spend every year completing the surveys that make this report possible. Look for the next Annual Member Survey in early May.
