Literacy Volunteers of Leon County, Inc. - Endowment Fund

LVLC’s mission is to support trained volunteers who empower adults and families to improve literacy skills, achieve personal goals, and participate fully in the workforce and community. Our volunteers help their learners reach their literacy and work related goals, including moving up a literacy level (62% of our clients accomplished this), completing a workbook series, passing one or more sections of the GED (5 learners succeeded in getting their GED!), finding or retaining employment or getting a raise or promotion (22 clients found jobs!), reading to their children or helping with their homework (56 of our families achieved this goal!), and 4 of them reported proudly reading a bible verse at their church service! In addition to services for persons with low literacy skills, LVLC also has programs to meet the needs for English for speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
