In 2001, Ethos Literacy’s founder, Margaret Barker, volunteered at a community college as a reading tutor. Her student had a high school diploma but could not read. He and Margaret worked together for five years. His experience inspired Margaret to create a much needed community-based literacy program: Ethos Literacy.
They started tutoring in 2009. Since then, they have served 1,500 people. Ethos Literacy was named a Best Practices in Literacy Honoree by the Library of Congress. They won an Innovation Prize from the National Literacy Directory for our New Words project.
