We love clear, effective communication.
We think everyday communications should be relatable, navigable, easy to understand, and useful.
Our courses help professionals in nonprofits, government entities, and other mission-driven work make their systems work better for people by using plain language grounded in a social justice framework. We love applying plain language across sectors โ health, housing, legal aid, workforce, and more!
We have a growing list of online, self-paced courses to explore. Check out our live, virtual courses at litworks.org.
