Literacy Volunteers of New Jersey is an organization committed to improving the basic literacy skills of adults in New Jersey by maximizing the capacity and effectiveness of LVNJ's network of affiliates, by increasing the public's awareness of the services provided by the network, and by promoting greater communication and action on the literacy needs of New Jersey.
Description:
LVNJ provides support to 20 Literacy Volunteers programs in the state. Each program recruits and trains volunteers who provide free tutoring to adults who need help learning to read and write or communicate in English. Local programs maintain waiting lists of students and are always in need of volunteer tutors. Many programs are also recruiting board members and volunteers who can help their organizations in other capacities.
History:
Since 1979, LVNJ has helped to establish and assist adult literacy programs throughout New Jersey. LVNJ develops instructional resources, conducts board and staff training, refers volunteers and students, and advocates for increased adult literacy services at the state level. We work closely with our member programs, a growing network of 20 adult literacy programs covering 19 counties. Each year our network provides about 100,000 hours of free tutoring services to more than 3,000 adults.
