About the Centers

The Supreme Council's newest charity was established in 1994 to provide dyslexic children with specialized one-on-one tutoring to enable them to cope with their deficit in reading and writing. While dyslexia cannot be cured, it can be treated. The 32º Masonic Learning Centers for Children are situated throughout the 15-State Northern Jurisdiction. Many are located within a building owned or maintained by the local Valley.

Students are accepted into the Learning Centers Program at no charge to their parents or to any school from which they are referred. Applicants are not judged on the basis of economic status, race, religion, or Masonic affiliation.
