Become a Student
It is easy to enroll as a student with Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council. Before you take the first step, please take a moment to visit GPLC's Our Programs page so that you will know which services interest you.
The first step is to call our Main Office at: (412) 661-7323
Our helpful staff member will ask you a few questions about where you live, how you found GPLC, and when you are available to come to class. Please tell her whether you would like to attend class in downtown Pittsburgh or if you prefer to have a class or tutoring in your neighborhood.
Then he or she will schedule you for an orientation meeting. We have these in many different locations at different times of the day. During the orientation, a staff member will tell you what GPLC can offer you and what we will expect from you as a student.
After that, a coordinator will call you to schedule your assessment. We do a thorough assessment so we can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses as a learner. Then we create a learning plan that is just right for you and assign the books and materials that will help you best.
As soon as you finish the assessment, your coordinator will begin the process of matching you with a tutor or placing you in a small class.
There is no cost to you as a student in our program, unless you wish to make a donation to help pay for the books you will use. Donations are always welcome.
If you are a person who wants to improve your skills in reading, writing, math, or English, you should call Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council today.
