San Diego Council on Literacy Our Vision... Literacy For All
Our Mission... To Champion a More Literate Community in San Diego County by Providing Creative Leadership for New and Existing Literacy Efforts.
The Challenge... San Diego County is home to 450,000 adults who possess only minimal literacy skills. Many of these adults are parents who are limited in their ability to support their children in early educational experiences. As a result, these children are at risk for illiteracy. Adults and children both need your help. Join the San Diego Council on Literacy in creating a more literate community!
Our Programs... The San Diego Council on Literacy is a coalition coordinating the efforts of over 23 literacy programs in San Diego County. Our program partners provide adult, children's and family literacy services; one to one tutoring and group instruction; and English as a Second Language, GED and Basic Education courses, all free to the public.
The San Diego Council on Literacy supports countywide efforts to eradicate illiteracy through:
- Tutor and learner referrals to program partners through our Literacy Hotline.
- Organization and production of events such as Family Reading Festivals for communities in need and the Annual Countywide Adult Learner Conference.
- Distribution of over 20,000 books annually, free to families and programs.
A Call For Help!
There is terrible shortage of volunteer reading tutors! By calling our Literacy Hotline, we can make a referral to a literacy partner whose needs match your interests and whose program is located conveniently to you in San Diego County. There is no experience necessary, free training is provided, and you can begin sharing the gift of literacy! There are opportunities to tutor adults and children, read aloud in elementary schools, homeless centers and other locations, and chances to provide your expertise to our programs' staff. Anyone interested in exploring these opportunities should please call 1-888-850-7323. We look forward to helping you help your community!San Diego Council on Literacy
