In the first episode of our Inspiring Collaboration Video Series, we chat with Jeff Burkhart, Executive Director, Literacy Network. This organization serves approximately 1,000 low-income adults each year in Dane County, Wisconsin. With more than 500 annual volunteers, they help adults achieve their goals through personalized education services and support.
