The
mission of Literacy Volunteers of Greater Sanford is supporting
the literacy needs of adults, especially those reading below
the ninth-grade 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.
Whether
your goal is to help a child with homework, read the label
on a prescription bottle, work toward getting your Graduate
Equivalency Diploma (GED), gain better skills for a new job,
or learn the basics of using a computer, we hope you will
contact us for assistance.
Founded
in 1986 by local community members, we have a long history
of helping individuals improve their literacy skills, adapt
to new challenges and change their lives for the better.
