I have watched the Winnebago Area Literacy Council (WALC) grow over the course of 25 years. For 2 years I served as a teacher for one of their English classes and for the past 9 years I have served on the Board. WALC was for a long time a tiny agency housed in the Oshkosh Public Library with one full time director and only a couple part time staff, serving people mostly through one to one tutoring. Now in 2025, they have 2 locations, 6 half to full time staff and several part time teachers. They still offer one to one tutoring, but also have several English classes, including on-site functional work English classes; a Road to Work program, and Learning Circles on topics relevant to our mission. WALC is accomplishing so much more today and continue to fill community needs in a unique way! The staff are amazing and have the biggest hearts. They care about the people they serve and help them achieve their personal goals. I am proud to be connected to the Winnebago Area Literacy Council.
