        Welcome to Literacy Volunteers of Greater Sanford
 
 

  Our Mission

Literacy Volunteers of Greater Sanford's purpose is to support the literacy needs of adults (especially those reading below the ninth reading level) with free, confidential, one-on-one tutoring and small group instruction by trained adult volunteers.  Our approach is student-centered so that literacy goals match life goals related to the family, employment and citizenship.
