Literacy NRV Literacy Volunteers of the New River Valley – (LVNRV)

The Literacy Volunteers of the New River Valley connects community members who want to strengthen their literacy skills with trained, volunteer tutors. We provide tutoring in both basic literacy (reading and writing) and English as a second language (conversational and basic English skills) to adults in the New River Valley. We also promote public awareness, cooperative partnerships, information sharing and referrals between literacy programs and communities.

Here at Literacy NRV, our students come to us with new goals and ambitions every single day. Whether it's learning to read their mail, pass the GED, get their driver's license, or read a pill bottle, our student and tutor pairs work diligently to reach their dreams and open the gateway to improved independence.

Last week, one of our students took an incredible leap and passed her citizenship test! She worked tirelessly with Ginny to learn everything she needed to know about American civics, history, reading, and writing; definitely not a small feat!

We so much admire your hard work, persistence and dedication to achieving your goal, Laura! With this accomplishment, so many doors are going to open for you.

Anne and Lauren spent a terrific evening promoting literacy programs and giving away books at Riverlawn Elementary’s Summer Literacy event! We love any opportunity to share our love of books, reading, and learning to students of all ages.

Plus, we learned something great: Our local libraries are offering very exciting summer reading programs! Stop by your library and find out how to participate. 📚☀️

Inspired by our neighbors at the Intellectual Disabilities Agency of the New River Valley and their beautiful display of plants and blossoms, we decided our office could also use some springtime cheer!

Our goal? To become the most colorful block in Christiansburg!
