The Whatcom Literacy Council is dedicated to helping adults in Whatcom County improve their literacy skills or learn to use English as a second language. Through customized, individual tutoring, students learn critical skills needed to become self-sufficient. Each year students achieve goals that improve their parenting skills, employment skills, citizenship and further their education. The Whatcom Literacy Council is a nonprofit organization, funded through its own efforts and with the support of local businesses, organizations and individuals. With the help of hundreds of volunteer tutors, all WLC services for students are provided free of charge.
