The adult learners who participate in community-based education programs reflect the diversity of the community and the clientele of the community-based education providers (community centers, literacy organizations, advocacy groups, faith-based organizations, libraries, etc.).

What are the educational needs and economic barriers to success for each population?

How do these two populations illustrate the diversity of people who access community-based education?
