Who we are

The Literacy Council of Norristown (LCN) is a non-profit organization that can help you improve your reading, writing, and math skills. We also offer help with English as a second language. English literacy skills are important in finding or keeping a job, helping your children with their schoolwork, or seeking further education. We can help!

     LCN Vision & Mission

    Our vision is to help create a community with an increased level of English literacy, and an organization enthusiastically called upon to provide English literacy improvement services without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

     

     Our mission is to empower those adults who seek to improve their reading, writing and math skills, or who are learning English as a second language. Through a network of local volunteers, we provide one-on-one tutoring or small group classes at little or no cost to students in need.
