Our History
Our group’s initial organizational meetings, which included Dr. Frank Laubach, began in Vista in 1957. The Council was founded in 1961 by friends of Dr. Laubach with early tutoring centers in Vista, Escondido, Fallbrook, and Oceanside. From 1968 to 1974, "San Dieguito Literacy Council" was composed of centers in Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Rancho Santa Fe. In 1971 additional centers were established in Carlsbad, Camp Pendleton, and Ramona.
In 1976 the name was changed to “San Diego Literacy Council,” and a final name change in 1984 to “Laubach Literacy Council of San Diego County, Inc.”
