THE LITERACY COUNCIL MISSION AND HISTORY

The Literacy Council’s mission is to improve the lives of adults and their families through literacy education that teaches people to read, write, and speak English.

In 1991, the United Way of Central Alabama, the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, and the Junior League of Birmingham identified a need to support adults with low literacy in Central Alabama. Together, they formed The Literacy Council of Central Alabama (TLC) to provide that support in Jefferson, Shelby, Blount, Walker, and St. Clair counties.

TLC provides programs for the most vulnerable members of the communities we serve. Fifty-eight percent of adults in Central Alabama need improved reading, writing, or language skills, making the need for TLC’s programs imperative. Literacy is essential for personal well-being, addressing social justice and equality, and helping communities become stronger socially and economically.

The Literacy Council’s programs align educational opportunities for adults to optimize their potential, pursue their goals, and help their families thrive.
