The mission of the Whittier Area Literacy Council is to build a stronger, more literate community by connecting those who can help with those who need it the most. Trained volunteers provide free, individualized tutoring in basic literacy and English as a Second Language for adults and children so they can reach their academic, life, or occupational goals. We believe that literacy is a human right and we invest our time, effort and skills into changing lives, one person at a time. We value the commitment of our tutors and the persistence of our students.
