Uniting the Community to Support Literacy

With your support, the San Diego Council on Literacy (SDCOL) serves as our community’s center for literacy activity. In this position, the SDCOL advocates for support of new and emerging literacy organizations. It convenes its 33 affiliated programs to enhance access to quality of services for residents. 100,000 residents receive services annually.

The SDCOL and partners are narrowing the resource gaps that contribute to low-level literacy skills. Among its achievements, the SDCOL and its partners take pride in securing and distributing over 400,000 books to local children since 2020. These books were valued at $4 million.
