Lincoln Literacy
Lincoln Literacy (LL) is a multi-award-winning charitable provider of a continuum of services rooted in language and literacy skills. Its mission is to strengthen our community by teaching the English language and a variety of literacy skills to people of all cultures.
Established in 1972 by, LL incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1993, when large numbers of refugees began to be resettled in Lincoln. Since then, LL has grown prodigiously yet maintained its reliance on trained volunteers as instructors. Beginning with a few dozen tutoring matches at the time of incorporation, it now serves more than a thousand people annually through a combination of hundreds of one-to-one tutoring matches and a wide array of classes held at locations throughout the city.
LL provides one-to-one English tutoring and small group classes as well as skills development such as prep classes for CNA, CDL, school jobs, and helps credentialed and educated New Americans to return to their profession.
