Boston Adult Literacy Initiative (ALI) is a network of about 25 Commonwealth of Massachusetts-funded and City of Boston-funded adult education and literacy programs convened by the City of Boston. Navin Associates led a 12-year community planning initiative that involved: creating neighborhood-based coalitions; training them to conduct community assessments; assisting them to develop and implement strategic plans; and helping the ALI to develop and implement two citywide strategic plans. Navin Associates also provided statewide workshops on strategic planning for the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
