Help a Child Succeed This School Year!

Our Youth Department is already planning for the fall semester of our After-School Youth Tutoring Program, and we are looking for dedicated volunteers to join us at our Foley and Fairhope locations!

Can you commit just 2 hours a week to help a child improve their reading or math skills? Your time can make a lasting impact on a student’s confidence, academic success, and future.

Pictured is Ms. Mary Ard, one of our incredible volunteers who has been tutoring with us for 10 years! Her dedication has helped countless children, and we are so grateful for the difference she continues to make in our community.

Interested in becoming a volunteer tutor? Join us for our next volunteer orientation and learn how you can get involved!

Last night, our Conversational Spanish class celebrated a big accomplishment with a class dinner at El Paso! After six weeks of learning and practicing together, each participant successfully completed our Beginner Conversational Spanish course.

A special thank you to Amy Smith for sharing her knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication to our students throughout the class. This course was not only educational, but also a lot of fun, and we are so proud of everyone who participated!

We’re already looking forward to our next Conversational Spanish class.

Did you know? Over 21% of U.S. adults—that's 43 million people—struggle with basic reading skills, reading below a 6th-grade level.

At South Baldwin Literacy Council, we believe literacy is more than reading—it's the key to opportunity. From adult education to tutoring and ESL classes, we’re helping break down barriers that hold our neighbors back.

When people read better, they live better.
When one person learns, the whole community grows.

👉 Get involved. Volunteer. Donate. Spread the word.

Our Summer LEGO STEAM Workshop has been SO much fun! Our campers have been building, creating, problem-solving, and letting their imaginations run wild through hands-on STEAM activities.

And that's not all... we've had some very special visitors from the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo every Tuesday! The campers have loved meeting some pretty neat animals and learning all about the amazing creatures that call our world home.

Check out these sneak peek photos of all the fun we've been having!
