Changing Lives, One Word at a Time

Urgent funding update

Due to federal administration changes, one-third of our annual budget is now on the line. This includes a grant from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that has been frozen indefinitely. Read the LVCA Board's statement on this developing issue. If you have the means, please consider donating to help us continue our life-changing mission.

Become a Literacy Volunteer

We are recruiting compassionate and enthusiastic volunteers to tutor adults in English speaking, reading, and writing. Many of our students also need support preparing for their U.S. Citizenship interviews.

If you would like to provide one-to-one instruction to adults in our community, we invite you to attend a New Tutor Training. No teaching experience is required, only a desire to help learners reach their educational goals.

Upcoming Information Session

Are you wondering if becoming a tutor is right for you? Come to an information session to learn more about our mission, our students, and what it takes to be a literacy volunteer.
