Leadership in Literacy and Service Award Winners

Literacy is traditionally understood as the ability to read and write. The term’s meaning has been expanded to include the ability to use language, numbers, images and other means to understand and use the dominant symbol systems of a culture. Literacy represents the lifelong, intellectual process of gaining meaning from a critical interpretation of written or printed text.

Service for others or volunteering is generally considered an activity and is intended to promote goodness or improve human quality of life.
