Our mission is to help adults living or working in the county who want to achieve functional levels of reading, writing, and speaking English so that they may improve the quality of their life and their ability to participate in the community.

what we do

The LCMC offers basic literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) tutoring, ESL classes, computer-based literacy and ESL instruction, and English conversation classes. We rely on volunteers to help provide many of our direct services.
