Center for Literacy and Community Learning Center have united to become BEYOND LITERACY.
Together, we will expand opportunities for adults and families by unleashing the power of literacy through free, high-quality education. Serving as the largest literacy agency in Philadelphia, BEYOND LITERACY helps learners improve their reading, writing, math, English language, digital literacy, and workplace skills. Our classes move students from learning to earning and help them succeed as workers, parents, and neighbors.

Our Story
Shaquanda Clemons is one of seven children in her family who all dropped out of high school. Education was not a priority for her. That changed when she came to Center for Literacy, got her GED, and for the past seven years has been working at CFL. Now Shaquanda is CFL’s Senior Data Specialist and in the evening goes to Community College of Philadelphia studying Computer Science - where she got all A’s and made the honors list last spring. What she is most thankful for is giving her son, Caleb, a future.
