Mission Statement
The mission of the Whittier Area Literacy Council of the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier is to build a stronger, more literate community by connecting those who can help with those who need it most. Through free, individualized tutoring in basic literacy and English as a Second Language for children and adults, we empower individuals--especially those who need us the most--to reach their full academic potential. We work with students third grade and up and adults of any age.
Description
The Whittier Area Literacy Council (WALC) of BGCW, a volunteer program now part of the Boys and Girls Club of Whittier, has been dedicated to teaching people to read, write, and speak English-at no charge-since 1962. Using a variety of methods and materials, we help children succeed in school and empower adults to reach their life goals.
We believe literacy is a human right and are committed to changing lives, one member at a time, by pairing trained community volunteers with our members. We value the dedication of our tutors and the persistence of our members as we work together toward a more literate community.
