Funding CLC programs to support Oklahoma adult learning

Community Literacy Center provides education that changes lives. Not just the lives of the adults we serve, but of their families, workplaces, and the people in their communities. When adults in need have the opportunity for more education, it creates a ripple effect that can inspire others to seek out learning, to grow, and make strides toward their own brighter future. 

Our nonprofit fundraiser events and the generosity of donors make it possible for CLC to provide free adult education to support our mission of Oklahoma literacy. Founded in 1987, we are Oklahoma’s oldest free learning center for adults, and we remain committed to continuing this mission and supporting growth through adult education programs across the metro area that have impact statewide.

U.S. Citizenship is only a dream for many. Because of the free U.S. Citizenship exam prep classes offered by Community Literacy Centers at no charge to the student, this dream is a reality for many. This would not be possible without the generosity of CLC donors and supporters. 

Fundraising Events

Private Reserve - The Journey to Oklahoma Literacy

Each year we host a themed gala event at a venue in the Oklahoma City area. Our signature nonprofit fundraiser brings together community leaders, longtime supporters, and new friends who believe in the power of literacy and the mission and programs  CLC offers.

By participating in our annual gala fundraiser, as a sponsor, donor, or attendees sponsoring our event, you’ll be a part of helping over 1,000 adults each year access the resources they need to learn English, become an American citizen, earn their high school diploma, grow their lives and careers. Proceeds go directly to providing free Oklahoma literacy programs to students in need.

You can still support CLC

Even if you can’t make our events, you can still support CLC’s ongoing efforts. Your one-time or recurring donation helps fund adult education classes, classroom materials, and teacher training. Every dollar directly impacts lives right here in Oklahoma City.

Donors Help CLC Serve Over 1,000 Adults Each Year

And this is only possible because of supporters and donors who share our passion for bringing free adult education opportunities to the Oklahoma City area and surrounding communities at no cost to the student. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation allows us to maintain our programs and give adults the chance to improve their skills and open doors to meaningful careers.
