About Washington Literacy Center
Started in 1963, the Washington Literacy Center has evolved into a nonprofit institution that teaches reading, math, and workforce skills to adults with skills at the most basic levels. Their goal is to educate and provide skills to those adults so they can improve in their job, obtain employment, and continue their education and move up the economic ladder to self-sufficiency. They help reintegrate adults who have already given up or thought they could not go any further in learning.
