Project Literacy owes its existence to a group of dedicated women who formed the Danville Reading Center in the mid-1960’s. Among these women was Nancy Jiranek, who served as the Center’s Executive Director until 1986 when she became the sole organizer and the facilitator for Project Literacy.
For nearly 40 years, Project Literacy has helped hundreds of Danville area adults learn to read and improve their literacy skills.
Project Literacy is honored to be the 2024 recipient of the B. R. Ashby, M.D. Award for Outstanding Community Service sponsored by the Danville Regional Foundation.
