Coalition Leadership

I CAN was established as a grassroots movement to respond to the adult low literacy and high school dropout crisis in Hillsborough County. A diverse group of concerned citizens with expertise in education, business, law, accounting, and social service joined the movement to donate their time and skills to improve literacy in their community. I CAN Coalition Partners include community organizations, businesses, churches, and education institutions that provide technical, instructional, and administrative assistance to help support the organization and education programs. The coalition ensures that I CAN is a financially and educationally accountable organization that offers adults and older youth the services and skills needed to succeed and become self-sufficient.
