6,000 —The approximate number of adults in the Charlottesville/Albemarle community who can’t read or write above a fifth grade level. At Literacy Volunteers, we think that number is too many.
That’s where you come in. Be a part of our community of supporters! We are able to serve more of the 6,000 adults who desperately need our assistance only through the contributions of our friends, family and neighbors—in other words, you.
