OtherPART I ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION:
OtherFOUNDED IN 2004, LITERACY CONNEXUS EQUIPS CHURCHES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO SERVE INDIVIDUALS WITH LITERACY NEEDS. IN 2025, THE ORGANIZATION MARKED A SIGNIFICANT LEADERSHIP TRANSITION AS ITS FOUNDER AND LONGTIME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, LESTER MERIWETHER, RETIRED AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025. THE TRANSITION INCLUDED A PERIOD OF SHARED LEADERSHIP THROUGH THE FALL OF 2025, WITH THE INCOMING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MATTHEW JOHNSTON, ENSURING STRONG CONTINUITY IN PROGRAMS, RELATIONSHIPS, AND ORGANIZATIONAL DIRECTION. THE ORGANIZATION EQUIPS VOLUNTEERS, STRENGTHENS PROGRAMS, AND EXPANDS ACCESS TO ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL), ADULT LITERACY, AND FAMILY LITERACY SERVICES, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON IMMIGRANTS, REFUGEES AND UNDERSERVED FAMILIES. LITERACY CONNEXUS SERVES COMMUNITIES ACROSS TEXAS, WITH A STRONG PRESENCE IN DALLAS AND TARRANT COUNTIES, AND PROVIDES TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO PARTNERS STATEWIDE AND BEYOND. LITERACY CONNEXUS CARRIES OUT ITS MISSION THROUGH FOUR CORE PROGRAM AREAS: (PROGRAM 1): TEACHING ENGLISH CONNEXUS (TECS): THIS IS THE ORGANIZATIONS FOUNDATIONAL PROGRAM AND PRIMARY STRATEGY FOR IMPACT. TECS EQUIPS VOLUNTEER ESL TEACHERS AND PROGRAM LEADERS THROUGH A HYBRID TRAINING MODEL THAT INCLUDES BOTH ONLINE AND IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION. IN 2025, LITERACY CONNEXUS TRAINED 244 VOLUNTEER TEACHERS THROUGH MULTIPLE TRAINING EVENTS, REPRESENTING A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE FROM PRIOR YEARS. THESE TRAINED VOLUNTEERS, IN TURN, PROVIDE HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF INSTRUCTION TO ENGLISH LEARNERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, CREATING A MULTIPLIER EFFECT THAT EXTENDS THEORGANIZATIONS REACH. LITERACY CONNEXUS ALSO PROVIDES ONGOING COACHING, CURRICULUM, RESOURCES, AND DIGITAL TRAINING MATERIALS TO SUPPORT PROGRAM QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY. (PROGRAM 2) L.E.A.R.N. FOR LIFE (LITERACY, EDUCATION, AND READING NETWORK): THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING FOR ADULTS WITH LOW LITERACY LEVELS, INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS PREPARING FOR THE GED OR SEEKING TO IMPROVE READING AND WRITING SKILLS FOR EMPLOYMENT AND DAILY LIFE. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS LIBRARIES AND COMMUNITY CENTERS, L.E.A.R.N. FOR LIFE SUPPORTS ADULT LEARNERS IN ACHIEVING GREATER INDEPENDENCE AND CONFIDENCE.(PROGRAM 3) READY FOR SCHOOL: THIS EARLY CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAM PREPARES YOUNG CHILDREN--PARTICULARLY FROM REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT FAMILIES--FOR SUCCESS IN KINDERGARTEN AND BEYOND. USING A STRUCTURED CURRICULUM, THE PROGRAM HELPS CHILDREN BUILD FOUNDATIONAL LITERACY SKILLS WHILE EQUIPPING PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS WITH TOOLS TO SUPPORT LEARNING AT HOME. (PROGRAM 4): WHATS FOR LUNCH?: THE WHATS FOR LUNCH PROGRAM EXPANDED ITS IMPACT IN 2025 BY PROVIDING BOTH DIRECT LITERACY SUPPORT AND INCREASED ACCESS TO BOOKS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THE PROGRAM DISTRIBUTED 50 SUMMER LITERACY KITS TO EQUIP PARENTS WITH TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT READING AT HOME. IN ADDITION, A WEEKLY READING PROGRAM SERVED MORE THAN 80 CHILDREN, MODELING FLUENT READING, ENGAGING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE READING, AND FOSTERING A LOVE OF BOOKS. TO FURTHER ENCOURAGE ONGOING READING HABITS, OVER 1,200 BOOKS WERE DISTRIBUTED, HELPING CHILDREN BEING OR GROW THEIR HOME LIBRARIES. THE PROGRAM ALSO STRENGTHENED ITS INFRASTRUCTURE BY LAUNCHING A NEW VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND EXPANDING COMMUNITY ACCESS THROUGH THE OPENING OF A NEW BOOK BANK AT FAMILY OF FAITH WORSHIP CENTER IN WACO AND FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN WHITE SETTLEMENT.
