Our Mission: Improving Lives and Communities Through Literacy

Our motto:

Lifting and empowering individuals and communities through literacy.

Our mission:

is to aid the low-literate adults of our communities in their efforts to increase their literacy and improve their life and employment skills.

Who We Are:

The Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 Franklin County Literacy Council (LIU12 FCLC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency. The LIU12 FCLC is part of the adult education division of Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 – a local special needs education provider- and a United Way of Franklin County Program Partner. We have been serving the adults of Franklin County, PA since 1985 by offering small group and one-on-one instruction for adults who are looking to improve their basic literacy and English language skills. The LIU12 FCLC provides quality instruction through generous and talented volunteer tutors at no cost to adult learners. We also provide literacy workshops to the community that cover various topics and community needs through partnerships with other area agencies, organizations and businesses. Because we know that improving literacy benefits communities by lowering health costs, reducing crime, and enriching the economy, our goal at the LIU12 FCLC is to aid the low-literate adults of our communities in their efforts to increase their literacy and improve their life skills.
