Mission Statement
The mission of the Washington Literacy Center is to raise the literacy level of adults in Washington, D.C. so they may function on the job, in the family, and in society.
About This Cause
The Washington Literacy Center (WLC) has been helping DC residents with the greatest barriers and fewest resources learn to read since 1963. Starting off as an all-volunteer initiative, the WLC has grown into a dynamic nonprofit focused on teaching skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century. We help students overcome some of the most difficult challenges including dyslexia, reading, math, and other barriers to education. For more than 100,000 of DC’s adults, the inability to read, do basic math and use a computer are a barrier to just about everything – completing their education, getting and keeping a decent job, and staying out of poverty. Our innovative programs provide students with direct instruction in reading, math, digital and financial literacy, along with workforce skills. We support learners earning their GED and help them secure better jobs and live independently.
