Literacy Council of Wake County Charity Profile

Since 1970, the Literacy Council of Wake County (LCWC) has been teaching adults how to read and write better through the use of volunteer, one-on-one and small group class tutors. The LCWC also has an English as a Second Language (ESL) program designed for students whose native language is not English. By training tutors and matching them with students, the LCWC helped over 375 adults work towards their personal reading and writing goals last year alone. All of our tutoring services are provided free of charge. We are very proud of the fact that 94% of our organization is comprised of volunteers.

As a small volunteer organization, each of the 7,000 hours that volunteers put into the work of the LCWC last year was crucial to our success. Although we helped 375 adults reach their personal literacy goals last year, the LCWC still has a lot of work to do.
