Mississippi celebrates Adult Education & Family Literacy Week with theme ‘Let’s Go, Mississippi!’

Adult Education programs across Mississippi are celebrating Adult Education & Family Literacy Week, also known as AEFL Week 2026. The statewide theme, ‘Let’s Go, Mississippi!’, emphasizes the potential of adult education investments in the state.

Throughout the week, the focus is on highlighting learners, educators, partners, and success stories that demonstrate the community impact of adult education. The campaign encourages education, advocacy, and celebration, emphasizing that adult education is advancing in Mississippi.

Organizers say the theme prompts the question: Where can Mississippi go when it invests in adult education? The week aims to showcase the pathways and possibilities created through these programs, supporting the state’s growth and development.

Hashtags such as #AEFLWeek2026, #LetsGoMississippi, and #SkillUpMississippi are being used to promote the celebration and its message across social media platforms.
