Welcome to the Minnesota Literacy Council!
Lo_Res_Volunteer_with_class
The Minnesota Literacy Council (MLC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving literacy throughout our state. We offer literacy services for: adults, at-risk children, native-English speakers and recent immigrants. We have designed our Web site to serve learners, volunteers and literacy advocates.


  • If you or someone you know needs a little extra help with reading or math, wants to attend English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, or would like to learn about GED or citizenship programs, visit our Adult Literacy Hotline, a database of nearly 400 local literacy programs around Minnesota.

  • If you want to become a volunteer tutor or assist literacy programs in other ways, click on "Volunteer!"  There are many ways to offer your

  • If you are a current volunteer tutor or someone active in the field of Adult Basic Education (ABE), we've posted lots of teaching tools for you in our "Tutor Resource Center" section.
