Arizona’s Project Learn – Literacy, Education And Resource Network was established in 1987 as a pilot project by the Arizona Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). Installation and implementation of computerized literacy labs in probation departments and other community settings, began that year and has continued to grow statewide. Initially the project offered only literacy education, but within a year of start up, some labs added additional programming to serve the diversified needs of the adult and juvenile populations. Two new LEARN labs will be added to the existing network, in juvenile detention facilities, one in a large urban area and the other in a small rural community and five labs will be upgraded. Computer-based instruction provides consistent, individualized programming which can be adapted to the students’ academic needs and abilities. The new labs and the five upgraded labs are expected to serve over 2,303 students during the upcoming fiscal year.
Primary Partners: Each local lab has partnered with a probation department, school district or community agency to physically house and staff the lab. The AOC has partnered with the Arizona Department of Education. Many local LEARN labs have partnered with the Arizona Department of Education, Adult Education Division.
Expanded Centers: (2 New) LEARN Lab, Phoenix and LEARN Lab, St. Johns

(5) LEARN Labs will be upgraded, one in Navajo County, Santa Cruz County and Yuma County, and two in Pinal County
