Literacy Council of Alaska

The Literacy Council of Alaska was started in 1973 with the same Mission as we have today:
To change lives through literacy for people of all ages in Fairbanks and the Interior!

English as a Second Language: We tutor and teach classes at every level for adults learning to speak English. We also provide citizenship classes.
GED: We offer GED tutoring in reading and writing, math, social studies, and science. We prepare our students to pass the GED test, with nearly 90 graduates a year!
Pathways: We facilitate transitional education for youth ages 16-24. Those working on educational goals are provided work experience as they prepare to enter the work force.
After School Program: We provide year round tutoring and programming for the youth who live in subsidized housing near downtown Fairbanks.
Book Recycling: Annually we provide 10,000-20,000 books to organizations and individuals across Interior Alaska. This creates a print rich environment and ensures people have books!
Forget-Me-Not Books: Our great used bookstore that provides books at great prices and revenue to sustain the programs at LCA.

The friends and partners of LCA make Fairbanks a wonderful place to change lives through literacy. Thank You!

The money we receive from pick.click.give is essential to running the Literacy Council. These are the funds we use to do things like pay our rent and electricity bills. We appreciate your donation and look forward to another year of serving Interior Alaska!
