The mission of The Missouri Association for Adult Continuing and Community Education (MAACCE) focuses on lifelong learning. As we attempt to address current topics of concern in areas of Adult, Continuing and Community Education, we ask for your help.  MAACCE and our national affiliate COABE encourage you to take action as we call for $810 million for the Adult Basic Education State Grants program in Fiscal Year 2023 to enhance adult education programs and increase the number of learners we serve. If we educate, then we elevate– our students, workers, businesses and our economic growth.
