About The Literacy Center

Founded  in 1988 by a small group of dedicated volunteers, under the leadership of the late Donna Morse, The Literacy Center (TLC) enhances lives and promotes self-sufficiency through quality adult education services. Our vision is a thriving community where all members, regardless of socioeconomic status, are empowered to achieve their full potential.

​

The Literacy Center provides classes, counseling, and support to disadvantaged adults to help them reach self-sufficiency. To achieve this, TLC classes include English language, digital literacy, career counseling, one-on-one tutoring, U.S. Citizenship exam preparation classes. Last year we served over 800 adults from 57 countries.

​

The Literacy Center helps people learn English, get better jobs, and become more engaged members of our community. We are the only organization in the greater Attleboro area that does this work. In addition, The Literacy Center leverages nearly 5,000 volunteer hours each year, with more than 50 trained volunteers providing 1-on-1 tutoring to hundreds of students on a myriad of subjects. All services are provided at either low or no cost to our students, and no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay for classes. The Literacy Center is a 501c3 nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and is supported entirely by donations and grants. Learn how you can support our work.
