As a volunteer you can develop new skills, make friends, and see how your efforts make a difference in your community. To register, call 518 244-4650.

Fall Festival of Literacy will be held on November 14, 2019 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy. Sponsors and Honorary Committee Members are needed to support this event, taking place at the Hilton Garden Inn, Troy. Arrive at 5:30 p.m. for networking, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. The program will run from 6:15-7:30 p.m..

The Fall Festival of Literacy is an evening of life-affirming true stories by our adult literacy students and tutors. Our students will share how improving their literacy skills (reading, writing, conversational English and/or math) has changed their lives. It is also an opportunity for the community to affirm our students for their accomplishments and on-going hard work they have given to improve their literacy skills.

Thanks to the Seymour Fox Memorial Foundation, LVORC's Judy Smith and Linda Feldmann recently had the opportunity to be interviewed on WAMC's "Falling Into Place" series. You can hear the interview at WAMC.org, or by following the link from the Blog on this website.

The Seymour Fox Memorial Foundation is providing funding for this year's Everybody WINS! Power Lunch program. Thanks to this generous grant, LVORC is able to provide adult reading mentors to children in area elementary schools. Please join us in saying thank you!
