Whittier Area Literacy Council of BGCW

Whittier, CA

    • Mission

    The mission of the Whittier Area Literacy Council of the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier is to build a stronger, more literate community by connecting those who can help with those who need it most. Through free, individualized tutoring in basic literacy and English as a Second Language for children and adults, we empower individuals—especially those who need us the most—to reach their full academic potential. We work with students third grade and up and adults of any age.

    About Us

    The Whittier Area Literacy Council (WALC) of BGCW, a volunteer program now part of the Boys and Girls Club of Whittier, has been dedicated to teaching people to read, write, and speak English-at no charge-since 1962. Using a variety of methods and materials, we help children succeed in school and empower adults to reach their life goals.

    We believe literacy is a human right and are committed to changing lives, one member at a time, by pairing trained community volunteers with our members. We value the dedication of our tutors and the persistence of our members as we work together toward a more literate community.
