Who we are: Founded in 1963, the Literacy Council of Montgomery County, Maryland is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to helping adults in Montgomery County learn to read, write and/or speak English.
Over 700 adults seek out a tutor to provide them with individualized instruction and mentoring through gaining up to a 5th grade level of reading and writing and/or English language proficiency.
What We Do: We train volunteers to tutor one-on-one or with small groups of adult learners who live or work in Montgomery County. ESL students are learning to master English language proficiency, which may include any combination of speaking, listening comprehension, reading, and/or writing.
Tutoring is an effective way to serve learners who ...
have limited schedule flexibility
may have difficulty keeping up in a group classroom setting
have not attended school before
who need privacy or confidentiality
who simply need to learn at their own pace
Volunteer Role: Tutors work with students whose primary language is not English; helping them with reading, writing, listening comprehension, and speaking. Being a tutor is a year long commitment and we ask you to meet with your student around 2 hours a week.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to advance social and economic equity for under-served adults through academic instruction and workforce development.
Description
The Literacy Council of Montgomery County (LCMC) sustains and grows the social and economic equity of adults in our region through education and workforce training. We teach adults to read, write, and speak English in a vibrant multicultural community where English proficiency is a tool for success.
Through our programs, we are equipping our adult learners with skills for life! We are passionate about helping our students reach their goals; whether that be improving employment opportunities, increasing their education levels, acquiring consumer skills, or increasing their involvement in their children’s education.
