Literacy Minnesota

Literacy Minnesota (formerly Minnesota Literacy Council) began in 1972 when a group of volunteers realized if one person taught someone to read, and that person taught someone to read, they could create a movement. Today, Literacy Minnesota has grown to include six learning centers; thousands of tutors trained per year; hundreds of curriculum downloads per month; AmeriCorps members working on literacy initiatives across the state and a digital literacy learning platform, Northstar, utilized in nearly all states and several countries. Literacy Minnesota is now recognized as a local and national leader and a driving force behind the latest developments in literacy learning. We continue to build a movement of learners, educators, literacy advocates and organizations in pursuit of a world where life-changing learning is within everyone’s reach.
