Sharon also shares details about CoABE's key campaigns - 'Move Ahead with Adult Ed' and 'Educate & Elevate'- designed to bring adult education to the forefront of public consciousness. These initiatives have increased adult learners' access to Wi-Fi and devices, making the digital world more navigable.Of course, like any important mission, there are challenges.
