Statements Mission To lead a collaboration of literacy providers and supporters to strengthen services and present a united voice for literacy in metropolitan Oklahoma City. Background In 2006, in response to increasingly low literacy levels in the metropolitan Oklahoma City area, concerned leaders from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, Junior League of Oklahoma City, United Way of Central Oklahoma, Community Literacy Centers, Inc., and R.S.V.P. convened the community to address literacy problems and find solutions. Eight task forces were formed and worked for a year to develop a plan to increase literacy levels through a coordinating coalition: (1) Early Childhood/Family Literacy, (2) Evaluation/Accountability, (3) Curriculum/Best Practices, (4) Funding, (5)Learner Retention and Recruitment, (6) Marketing, (7) nprofit/esl/faith-based Organizations, & (8) Workforce Partnerships. More than 80 people worked on the project, and the task forces created a blueprint for literacy in our community. To implement that blueprint, the Oklahoma City Metro Literacy Coalition (OKCMLC) was formed. Task force members agreed that OKCMLC would provide a centralized communication/networking hub to bring together literacy services in our community. Our vision is that metropolitan Oklahoma City is a fully literate community! We are a coalition because literacy and economic development go hand in hand. Employers now find it more cost-effective to relocate operations if they cannot find the skilled workers to meet their needs in the local area. Our Goals: To ensure that anyone who wants literacy services can readily access them To ensure that every literacy provider has the resources needed to provide the best possible services for every learner To bring the community together in order to present a united voice for literacy Our Values: We believe that metropolitan Oklahoma City can achieve 100% literacy. We respect and learn from the experience of all segments of the community. We believe in the wisdom of collective work and responsibility. We support all partners in a community who have a stake in increased literacy levels. Impact Accomplishments: The Coalition maintains a literacy referral service, provides scholarships for GED testing fees, recruits tutors and connects them with direct service providers, provides scholarships for tutor training, and hosts professional education and networking opportunities for organizations and individuals providing direct services to learners. 2
3 Needs After being a 100% volunteer-run organization for six years, OKCMLC hired a half-time Executive Director in February With this dedicated staff person, OKCMLC will be able to better promote awareness of the need for literacy services, connect learners to services, connect volunteers to organizations, and support literacy providers in order to expand the reach of literacy efforts in the community. Increasing the Executive Director position to 3/4 time in Fiscal Year 2018 would allow OKCMLC to more fully implement the newly developed outcomes logic model for literacy. CEO/Executive Director Statement Reading proficiency is a gateway skill that enables a person to more fully develop his or her unique skills and contribute to the community. When ALL in Oklahoma City can read, we ALL will benefit. Board Chair Statement Connecting the community around the topic of literacy is the work of the Oklahoma City Metro Literacy Coalition. Our vision is to create a community with 100% literacy. We know that if there is a path out of poverty, it is literacy! Raising a family, supporting that family, keeping them healthy and safe is hard work. Trying to do that when you do not read well is an overwhelming task. Children in families with parents who struggle to read are often not successful in school. The OKCMLC s great challenge is to assist needy adults as they navigate the literacy service network. We have a referral line that receives around 150+ calls a year. We hear so many poignant stories. Just recently a young mother of three elementary-age children called looking for help for all of them. I know, she said, that I can t help them until I get help myself. Adults face the reality of low-level literacy when they have to take a certification test in the workplace or fill out forms in the doctor s office or at school. It is very hard for an adult to admit that she does not read well. Adults are embarrassed, ashamed, and feel that they are stupid and unable to learn. Callers are often very appreciative to be able to speak to someone who encourages them to get help and to keep in touch with us if the recommended service does not work out. We continually update our lists of literacy services in order to be a significant link between the learner and community programs. Currently we are receiving calls from parents of children who are looking for help as their children approach third grade public school mandates. Our work is difficult for some in the community to understand. We do not teach reading or English language skills. Services include referrals to programs and a designated fund that provides GED test fund fees for at-risk adults. According to Linda Dudek, director of the OCCC Adult Learning Center, The criteria for the GED test funds are need-based and have been such a great help for our students who cannot afford the cost of the test. We are very appreciative of the opportunity for so many worthy students to be able to take advantage of this unselfish gesture on the part of the Oklahoma City Metro Literacy Coalition. The OKCMLC also provides professional development and network meetings and community awareness. Our website promotes community literacy events, needs and activities. Network meetings feature speakers or roundtables on topics such as, Vision and Literacy, Advocacy, Health Literacy, Financial Literacy, English as a Second Language, Marketing and Conflict Resolution. Our recent ESL network meeting brought this response from Dr. Gail Nash who teaches at Oklahoma Christian University. It was also useful for both my "people"(students) just to see how much is going on. Sue and Shelby got a glimpse into what a big deal they are a part of. They both really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. I'm so glad they could come. So, I think it was very successful and thank you for bringing it together and letting me be a part. A national research project, the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, targeted Oklahoma as one of six states to assess in the area of adult literacy. What we learned about Oklahoma adults is that 49% of them read at basic or below levels. According to the Department of Libraries Literacy Resource Office, about 149,000 individuals in Oklahoma County read at very low levels and about 8-10% of them are in programs or being tutored. Here is a visual: If you fill the Oklahoma University Football stadium two times, you have close to the number of citizens needing help. The two end zones represent those engaged in programs.

She wasn't able to finish high school, but at 19, she decided that sitting in an apartment watching TV was not what she wanted to do with her life. Chantel knew an education was her ticket to changing her life. She started preparing for the GED at OIC of Oklahoma County but did not have the means to pay the GED testing fees. That's where Oklahoma City Metro Literacy Coalition stepped in, providing Chantel a GED testing fees scholarship. Chantel passed her GED and is currently enrolled in the nursing program at Francis Tuttle! 6
7 DEAR Day Description Drop Everything And Read Day ("DEAR Day") is held annually in April at the Oklahoma State Capitol. DEAR Day, inspired by Beverly Cleary's Ramona books, is a celebration of reading. State legislators literally drop everything and read with the students. The Coalition provides transportation for OKCPS students to attend DEAR Day, snacks, and free books to 200 second-graders. We partner with Feed the Children to provide books to take home. Students also tour the Oklahoma History Center. To date, the Coalition has provide the DEAR Day experience to more than 1,200 students.
