The Washington Literacy Center has been a cornerstone of adult education in Washington, DC, for over 60 years. Established in 1963, WLC was founded in response to the critical need for adult literacy education in the District, where thousands of residents faced significant barriers due to low literacy levels. Originally operating as a volunteer-based tutoring initiative, WLC has since grown into a comprehensive educational institution that provides structured, high-quality programs designed to equip adult learners with the skills needed for personal and professional success.

Our mission is to provide tailored instruction that helps adults develop essential reading, writing, and life skills, as well as job readiness and professional skills.

At the Washington Literacy Center, we teach digital skills that help adults thrive in today’s fast-moving, tech-filled world.

Because let’s face it: in a world where technology keeps advancing, we all need to keep up. 💡

Here are 5 ways to start building your digital confidence:

🔹 Set a Purpose: Know why you’re learning—whether it’s job hunting, paying bills, or connecting with family. Purpose drives progress.

🔹 Start With What You Know: Build on everyday tools—your phone, a tablet, even your TV remote! It all counts.

🔹 Use “Copy & Try” Learning: Watch a quick how-to video, pause it, and try it yourself. That hands-on practice is powerful.

🔹 Make Mistakes—On Purpose: Don’t be afraid to click! Trial and error is part of the learning process.

🔹 Find a Tech Buddy: Learning is easier (and more fun) with support. Ask a friend, classmate, or teacher to help you along.

📲 Digital skills open doors. Let’s keep them open for everyone.

What does functional literacy really look like?

For Malcolm Pryor, a proud D.C. dad and WLC grad, it means turning knowledge into action—like launching his own bartending business, Mix It Up Mobile DMV.

From learning how to mix drinks to mastering credit and entrepreneurship, Malcolm says WLC’s Learning Skills for Lifeprogram helped put him “in the mix” to reach his goals. 💼🍸

That’s functional literacy. That’s WLC.

To the moms who lead, lift, and love — this one’s for you. 💐

At the Washington Literacy Center, we see the strength of mothers every day. Moms who return to the classroom after decades. Moms who study between jobs and bedtime stories. Moms who show their children that it’s never too late to learn something new.

You are the definition of resilience.
You are the example of empowerment.
You are the heart of our community.

To all the moms and mother figures—thank you for everything you do, and everything you inspire. 💛

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at WLC!

Marilyn Lowry joined WLC in 2022 as a basic reading instructor after 30 years of teaching children and adults in public schools and special education classes in Washington, DC and Virginia. After a brief retirement, a la Tom Brady, Marilyn soon jumped back into teaching because she knew she had more years to give. She approaches her work with an unrivaled passion and by using multi-dimensional techniques: incorporating a phonetic approach with a love of literature and interpretation, imagery, metaphors and similes, and importantly, improving her students’ vocabulary because “words have power.”

Roberta Flack was an singer and pianist known for her emotive, genre-blending ballads that spanned R&B, jazz, folk, and pop and contributed to the birth of the Quiet Storm. Beyond her musical genius, she was a true champion of civil rights and social justice. Her artistry was inseparable from her activism, and throughout her career, she used her public platform to elevate the voices of marginalized communities.

D.C. native and legendary jazz composer and D.C. native Duke Ellington used music as a subtle, but compelling way to tell stories of racial injustice to wide reaching audiences. He broke down racial barriers with his performance of “Black, Brown and Beige: A Tone Parallel to the American Negro” at Carnegie Hall in 1943. It was a piece meant to showcase the pain and struggle Black Americans had endured since their capture from the shores of Africa.

Aretha Franklin’s powerful voice not only defined generations but became a force for change. With her iconic rendition of “Respect,” she gave the world an anthem for both the civil rights and women’s rights movements. She also used her platform to support civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and boldly refused to perform for segregated audiences, proving that music can be a powerful tool for justice and equality.
