Pelican Community

The focus of the Pelican Community Center and Lutheran Church is to assist the immigrant adult population through instruction to learn the English language. The goal is to achieve independence and empowerment through ESL classes. The power of literacy is not just the ability to read and write. It is for each person to apply these skills and to effectively connect, decipher, and recognize the complexities of the world in which they live. The mission of the Pelican Community Center and Lutheran Church is to support all families and individuals through their daily struggles of life, by providing what they need most to be happier and healthier families, and to become productive members of society. Our center provides English Literacy classes in the mornings and evenings. We serve the multi-cultural, multi-ethnic communities within Collier County. The Pelican is a mission church, and our work is reviewed and overseen by Grace Lutheran Church of Naples. Since opening our doors in August of 2016, the Pelican has served over 1,000 students to learn the English language. Our center welcomes all!
