The Portland Literacy Council (PLC) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1993. PLC is dedicated to promoting adult literacy in Oregon. PLC activities include delivering volunteer tutor training programs online and in person, hosting an annual literacy tutor conference, supporting adults seeking to complete a GED®, publishing the LiteracyLINKS newsletter, and partnering with other literacy programs in our region.

Since our founding, the focus of the Portland Literacy Council has been on supporting volunteer tutors who serve in free or low-cost programs for adult learners. As the Council grows to fill more gaps in the available adult learning services in the metro area, we remain committed to our core programs of tutor training and GED® assistance.
