Your donation supports literacy

Literacy is more than Reading & Writing. Literacy is the foundation of education, career success, and overall well-being. By ensuring access to books, learning tools, and essential resources, Literacy for Change:

  • Supports early childhood learning programs
  • Encourages career exploration
  • Enhances print and digital resources
  • Expands community access to technology
  • Facilitates lifelong learning

Today’s literacy extends beyond reading — it includes financial literacy, digital skills, and access to trusted health information. YCL empowers our communities with these skills.

Your donation ensures that every person in York County—regardless of age, income, or background—has access to books, knowledge, and learning opportunities.

Did you know?

Public funding covers only 70% of YCL’s operational costs. The remaining funds come from community donations, grants, and sponsorships. As state funding stagnates and operational costs rise, YCL relies on Literacy for Change to maintain free literacy programs for all.
