HISTORY
The Literacy Council of Montgomery County, Maryland, Inc. is a private, nonprofit organization founded by Beth Kilgore in 1963. We were originally founded solely as a volunteer-led tutoring program for native English speakers learning to read and write as adults, but as our community grew and expanded, so did the need to diversify our services. From that came the programs that offer instruction English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL), GED exam preparation, workforce readiness, computer skills, and more that we provide today.
We are affiliated with ProLiteracy, the largest volunteer adult literacy organization in the United States.
