Who We Are
Founded in 1985, the Literacy Council of Southwestern PA has transformed the lives of adults and their families throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania by giving the gift of reading, writing and language skills to adults, thereby empowering economic opportunity, a sense of community and a higher quality of life. The Literacy Council of Southwestern PA is a volunteer-run, privately funded nonprofit with a mission to promote economic opportunity, a strong and united community, and a higher quality of life for all people through literacy.
What We Do
The Literacy Council of Southwestern PA, in collaboration with Intermediate Unit 1, provides adult tutoring services through their Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language, both TOEFL and Citizenship preparation, and GED Test Preparation programs. We support the families of our students by offering a Children’s Literacy program and the signature Baby Book Bag program.
