East Side Learning Center

                                 Creating Super Readers!

The need is still great!

Minnesota’s reading and academic outcomes are alarming. Results of the most recent Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment indicate only 33.9% of students met or exceeded grade level standards. Third grade reading skills are a critical benchmark for a student’s future success.  For over 20 years East Side Learning Center (ESLC) has been a leader in literacy tutoring for students in grades K-3, devoting its resources and program to helping each generation of Minnesota students become better readers. 

Your support ensures literacy success for children and empowers them to become future leaders. With you, we will impact the lives and the future of our community. Thank you for your generous donation!
