For over 50 years, Troy Literacy Council (TLC) has worked to alleviate illiteracy in Miami County by
providing free, volunteer-based, one-on-one tutoring to individuals seeking to improve reading
and writing skills.
​
TLC was founded in 1972 when a group of Presbyterian women in Troy recognized the need for an adult literacy program in the community. Led by Evelyn Dunham, they formed the organization Literacy is for Everyone (LIFE), and began training volunteer tutors in the Laubach method. TLC remains connected to those original Laubach literacy roots by operating under the umbrella of the national adult literacy program, ProLiteracy, and by embracing Laubach's motto, "Each One, Teach One." ​​​​​​
