Literacy Volunteers of Greater Sanford

Mission Statement

One in seven adults in the Sanford/Springvale area struggles with reading and other tasks. Completing a job application, understanding a prescription label, or reading a child a bedtime story can be difficult. The mission of Literacy Volunteers of Greater Sanford is to support the literacy needs of local adults with free, confidential, one-on-one tutoring and small group instruction in reading, math, computers, studying for the GED, licenses, and other life skills by trained adult volunteers. LVGS is a 501 (c) 3 corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

Thanks to Sanford Springvale Rotary and UNUM, we have a new state-of-the-art computer lab with four stations. Are you interested in taking a computer class?  Any beginning learner can sign up for a Basic Class where you'll learn to use the keyboard, create new documents, send e-mails, surf the Internet, and more.  Please call to find out when our next Basic Class starts or to inquire about Office Skills Classes we have available.
