Mission

Teaching students the literacy skills necessary to communicate, grow, and thrive within our community.

History

The Literacy Council of Grand Island was founded as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 1981 to teach reading, writing, and math skills to members of the Grand Island community. Now, our organization is committed to teaching all literacy skills needed to communicate and thrive within the community, offered free of charge—regardless of age, income, background, race, or religion—to ensure education remains accessible to everyone.

Vision

Promoting literacy to build a stronger community, encourage equality, and increase opportunities for students.
