Accessing Literacy Services Leads
to Increased Success:            


In the Workplace -

Millions of today's employees lack basic skills inreading and writing. This situation is costly to business because it leads to low productivity, accidents, and lost management and supervisory time.  Literacy Volunteers provides unique and essential workplace realted instruction for those most often neglected by corporate in-house programs and job preparation classes.

In the Family -

One of the most common reasons that adults come to Literacy Volunteers for help is the desire to help their children succeed. Low-level literacy is self perpetuating. Parents who make a commitment to improving their literacy skills and share a love of reading with their children can break the cycle of low-level literacy in their families.

In the Community -

Virtually every social problem has roots in a lack of education.  Literacy Volunteers strives to provide adults who have been bypassed by traditional education with the literacy skills to become self-sufficient, active participants in their communities.
