Literacy Volunteers of Charlottesville/Albemarle

We address low literacy and undereducation among adults in our region through free instruction.

We imagine a community where every adult has the literacy and English language skills he or she needs to live a fulfilling and productive life in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Literacy Volunteers strives to provide foundational education to support our students as they embark on workforce and educational paths that will help them secure better jobs and become more fully involved in community life.

When one of our citizenship students wasn't able to make it to class, she texted us apologizing and wrote, "I truly appreciate your efforts and your help in making us part of this community."

This really is one of the best absence notes we've received. :)
