We at Connect with Adult Ed are so happy to introduce our new project, My Adult Ed Story. This project is a collection of the lived experiences and stories of adult education and literacy practitioners.
We are honored and privileged to share these stories from our incredible colleagues from across the field!

If you would like to share your story, or if you have questions before you decide to share, please reach out to Nadia (nadia@nmdelt.org) or Jamie (director@nmadulted.org). We look forward to growing this collection!
