(Refugee Empowerment Program) plays a crucial role in our city, empowering refugees and immigrants with high-quality, tailored programming that encourages, educates, and equips individuals, families, and the community. We sat down with Lynsee, Adult Education Coordinator, to discuss adult literacy, how REP uniquely approaches its mission, and more.

"Dear Friends and Supporters, I want to personally share with you that I will be stepping down as CEO of Literacy Mid-South after an incredibly fulfilling chapter. An exciting opportunity was recently presented to me, one that aligns with my continued commitment to Memphis and the Mid-South. While this is a bittersweet moment, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for what we have accomplished together. When I joined Literacy Mid-South, I was fortunate to inherit a talented and passionate team, and over the years, we have attracted even more exceptional individuals. Together, we’ve grown the organization and made an impact beyond what I could have imagined. From transforming Literacy Mid-South into a regional literacy intermediary to securing the most significant grants in our history, these accomplishments are a testament to the hard work of our staff, the unwavering belief of our board in big ideas, and the incredible support from our partners and community."
