Nicole supports Project: LEARN, Cleveland, Ohio’s largest organization for adult literacy, with a percentage of her book royalties and through volunteerism.
Project: LEARN is Greater Cleveland’s premier adult literacy center. Founded in 1974, Project: LEARN has acquired a national reputation for its leadership in advancing literacy. Project: LEARN’s mission is "Literacy for Every Adult." Its purpose is to teach basic skills to adults so that they may reach their own particular learning goals. We believe that reading is freedom, meaning that when students acquire basic reading, writing, speaking and listening skills they can solve the problems of daily living, take full advantage of citizenship and participate fully in the affairs of the community.
