ADULT EDUCATION IN PALM BEACH COUNTY
A Symbiotic Network

The partnerships that support the Coalition have become a symbiotic network of organizations that enhance each other's missions. Each partner both contributes to and benefits from the increased efficiency of operations and services coordinated through the Coalition. Outreach, recruitment, and volunteer training provided by the Coalition support the work of the adult education providers and help the media partners promote their image as literacy champions in the county. Two partnerships— with the media and the Palm Beach County Bar Association—are described in more detail below.
