In 2022, alarming statistics revealed that 21% of US adults were functionally illiterate, with 54% having literacy levels below the sixth grade. The financial impact of low literacy rates is staggering, costing Americans up to $2.2 trillion annually.

These numbers are a call to action, and we believe Rotarians can make a significant impact.

Join us for an exclusive screening of “Sentenced,” a powerful documentary shedding light on the issue. Following the screening, engage in an insightful panel discussion with local educators and nonprofits on the front lines of this critical challenge.
