Mission:

Established in 1981 and incorporated in March of 1984, the South Bay Literacy Council is a non-profit all-volunteer group working towards improving literacy, by offering programs in Basic Literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Headquartered in Torrance, CA, the organization is an affiliate of California Literacy, Inc. and of the national program of Laubach Literacy Action.

The council relies solely on private sector donations and receives no government funding.

SBLC is committed to providing free tutors to functionally illiterate or immigrant adults seeking to learn to read, speak, and write English.

SBLC provides both group and individual tutoring in 16 South Bay cities and also offers a computer learning center that allows students to add computer-assisted skills to their learning process.
