Literacy Center West was founded in 1988 in the basement of the Church of the Nativity in East Price Hill. Then called the Nativity Literacy Center, our mission was to teach basic literacy skills to adults. It soon became apparent that the needs of the community were much greater. In response, we initiated focused programs in the areas of GED preparation and job readiness training for disadvantaged young people. A gift from the Pfau Foundation will support the Urban Center Development project.
