Why
Have a Consortium?
The vision
of the Hawaii Family Literacy Consortium (HFLC) is to help create a
literate Hawai'i where families read, write, reason and communicate
so they can fulfill their hopes in a safe, thriving, diverse and healthy
society.
HFLC was
formed via a US Department of Education Even Start grant to unify, strengthen
and expand family literacy services in Hawaii. The task of this consortium
is to develop indicators of program quality, to establish a system of
support and resources for family literacy, and to build local capacity
for the expansion of family literacy throughout the state. The consortium
is composed of representatives of federal and state agencies, parents,
educators, and private and nonprofit organizations.
What
Is the Consortium's Task?
HFLC will
unify, strengthen and expand family literacy services in Hawaii by:
- Developing
indicators of program quality
- Establishing
a system of support and resources for family literacy
- Building
local capacity for the expansion of family literacy
