Past Summits

Every year, Literacy 2030 hosts a summit to bring literacy leaders and community advocates together for support, inspiration and creative brainstorming. These summits are wonderful opportunities to network and share successes as well as setbacks. Participants leave the summit feeling inspired and reinvigorated to continue marching toward a fully literate South Carolina.

  • Establish best practices for literacy efforts
  • Learn about funding opportunities for literacy programs
  • Create action plans for addressing the needs of South Carolina residents
