About us
Seeds of Literacy brings together people of diverse backgrounds in order to help break a root cause of poverty: illiteracy. Since 1997, Seeds has provided free, one-to-one tutoring in basic education and high school equivalency (HSE) preparation to adults in Ohio. (GED, HiSET). A unique curriculum and one-to-one tutoring offer maximum learning by building relationships of trust between the student and the tutor. This approach allows each student to work at her or his own academic level; therefore, students of all academic levels participate in the program. We offer open enrollment, a flexible class schedule, are open year round, and incorporate technology into our curriculum, creating a strong program that has student retention and graduation rates that are twice the national average. Seeds of Literacy is the only adult literacy program in the county to be nationally accredited by ProLiteracy, and is a 501(c)3 organization. We have two classrooms to serve our community: In-person at Seeds West 3104 W. 25th Street, 3rd Floor Cleveland, OH 44109 Virtual Classroom - Tutoring via Zoom for Ohio Residents only at this time.

A huge thank you to Hathaway Brown School & specifically the HB Class of '26 for hosting Seeds as this year's community partner for Carnival 2026!! Organized by the Class of 2026, this event started off with a 5K, run by Seeds very own Virtual Coordinator Anne. The rest of the morning was filled with raffles and games for all ages including DIY tote bags and a flying donut race, where Volunteer Coordinator Bryce emerged victorious versus Development Director Todd. The proceeds of the event will go directly towards helping our students reach their GED goals! #ged #seedsofliteracy #adulteducation #cleveland #hb150 #hathawaybrown
