The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) awarded Literacy New Jersey Inc. $338,968 in federal funding through the AmeriCorps Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Grants program (CFDA 94.014) for the 2025-2026 program year, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The award funds workforce skill-building and adult education services, specifically providing adult tutoring in basic literacy skills and English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction. The grant mobilizes senior volunteers aged 55 and older to deliver these educational services to underserved adult learners across New Jersey, aligning with the program's objective of encouraging long-term volunteer commitments to community service.
