ABOUT US
OUR MISSIOn: to encourage and support adult literacy in our community
Community Literacy Centers, Inc. (CLC) 501 (c)(3) is a private, nonprofit organization established in 1987 by judges, educators, attorneys, and citizens in Oklahoma County who acknowledged the benefits of a more literate society. In 1997, CLC established and implemented the LEAP (Learning, Enriching, Achieving, Preparing) program, which is now the foundation for all CLC services. Through LEAP, cooperative partnerships are formed with various Oklahoma County agencies to provide literacy services to agency clients and adults (18 years or older) in the surrounding community. Classes are typically conducted at partner sites; however, some courses are taught virtually via Zoom. CLC classes include Adult Basic Education (ABE), English as a Second Language (ESL), U.S. Citizenship, and High School Equivalency (HSE) instruction. The LEAP program also encompasses Workplace Learning Solutions (WLS) and Tutor Training.
OUR VISION
