Imagine a life without the ability to read, speak or understand English well. Everyday tasks like reading the mail, writing a note to a teacher, or having phone conversations are overwhelmingly difficult.

Literacy Volunteers of Somerset County is a non-profit organization that provides one-on-one and small group tutoring to functionally illiterate adults.

The need for literacy tutors in Somerset County is great, and there are many people waiting for a tutor.

Join representatives from LVSC for an information session to learn more.
