DID YOU KNOW? for February 25 – March 10, 2025
Did you know that one local program that PLATO's Education Fund supports is Literacy Network? PLATO's annual donation supports the program resources budget which includes textbooks and online resources for English language learning. Literacy Network provides free literacy, English, and high school completion services to Dane County adults. They serve over 1,500 people each year with personalized educational programs that help them build their skills and reach their goals. Students celebrate getting new jobs, earning GEDs, becoming citizens, and communicating more effectively around our community. In January, Literacy Network merged with Omega School to enhance and expand their high school completion programming.

The PLATO Education Fund was established in 2012 in order to provide financial assistance to low-income adult students pursuing a college education, and to support educational opportunities for learners of all ages through local community organizations. During the past 13 years PLATO member donations have provided more than $341,000 to support scholarships for returning adult students at UW-Madison, as well as supporting the Odyssey Project, the Badger Ready Program and other local community programs, such as Literacy Network.
