We are a non-profit committed to the mission of fostering and strengthening literacy skills and coordinating with community resources to provide services, enabling learners to reach their full potential. The Joplin Neighborhood Adult Literacy Action, also known as NALA Adult Literacy, is a non-profit 501(c)3 literacy council organization that was founded in 1981. We are a United Way partner agency and a reporting member of ProLiteracy. Our purpose is to provide tuition-free programs to improve the self-sufficiency of families by supporting adult learners in their efforts to increase skills – efforts that give them access to a better life and make a positive impact on our community. We offer classes and one-on-one tutoring in literacy-related subjects, including reading, writing, math, computer literacy, for both native English speakers and English Language Learners.
