The Minnesota Literacy Council operates in the education administration field, focusing on expanding access to literacy through instructional programs, community engagement, and advocacy. Founded in 1972 after a group of women met in a Roseville church basement in Minnesota and recognized that teaching one person to read could spark a broader movement, the organization has grown into a statewide network. Each year it reaches nearly 90,000 children and adults across Minnesota, supported by more than 2,000 volunteers and 115 national service members who are trained annually.

Its programs include free English language instruction, GED preparation, and job-readiness courses that help learners pursue further education and careers. The council also runs literacy-rich preschools and summer reading programs to jump-start reading skills for Minnesota's youngest residents. In addition to direct teaching, it provides guidance on program best practices, educational technology, volunteer training, and hosting national service members to strengthen hundreds of literacy programs across the state.
