This final report of the Literacy Education for the Elderly Project (LEEP) provides a description and the results of the project designed to target literacy education to the older adult. The strategy of the two-year program, established in 27 sites nationwide, was to: (1) link the local level aging services network with the volunteer adult literacy network; (2) recruit and train older adults as volunteer literacy tutors and peer supports; (3) deliver literacy education to older adults in sites such as senior centers, nutrition sites, senior housing, and churches; and (4) provide administrators, literacy tutors and trainers with materials on how to organize a literacy program to address the special learning needs of the elderly. Appendixes include a list of project advisory committee members, a list of demonstration sites, case studies of sites, a follow-up survey, and reproductions of articles from various periodicals describing the program.
