NATIONAL CENTER FOR FAMILY LITERACY, Sharon Darling, President, 325 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202-4237, 1.877.FAMLIT.1, 502.584.1133, Email: ncfl@famlit.org, website: www.famlit.org. In the center's programs throughout the country, adults and children go to school together and get excited about learning together. As the adults learn, it gives them hope - and the possibility of being successful at work, which breaks the cycle of poverty. Most of the parents in family-literacy programs are single mothers who need basic skills to take advantage of opportunities for themselves and their children.
