Our Mission

Our mission is to empower adults to achieve their employment, family and life goals by improving their literacy skills and to increase awareness of literacy needs in our community. We offer free individualized tutoring for adults who want to improve their reading, writing, basic math and English language skills, or to prepare for the GED. Trained volunteer tutors are matched with adult learners.


We have moved!

The Pass the Power office has moved to 620 Francis, Suite 212, St. Joseph, MO 64501.
