Mission Statement

The mission of the English Empowerment Center is to teach adults the basic skills of reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English so they can access employment and educational opportunities and more fully and equitably participate in the community.

Description

Established in 1962, the English Empowerment Center (formerly Literacy Council of Northern Virginia) has over 60 years of experience in English language instruction. Each year, EEC serves nearly 1,500 learners, many of whom are struggling to get by with minimal English-language skills. Using today’s best practices for adult learning and second language acquisition, we offer skills-based instruction in both in-person and virtual classrooms. EEC's classes are inexpensive and offered at various times, making them accessible to the largest number of adults with the most urgent language needs.

The students are great. The organization offers frequent training sessions, if you desire, and the work is very rewarding and fun.
