Falling Into Place Interview on WAMC

Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County’s Albany Office is now open. Anyone who might like to be a literacy tutor or to volunteer in any way is welcome to join a Volunteer Opportunities Information Session. Check the Events Calendar for details. Please join us in thanking the Albany Public Library for providing a home for us at the Main Branch Library, 161 Washington Avenue, Albany.

LVORC is pleased to invite all tutors and students to return to in-person tutoring. We highly recommend that both students and tutors be vaccinated and if not, follow safety protocols by wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance when meeting.

If you are not comfortable or feeling safe to meet in person, you still have the option to continue instruction remotely for the time being. We will notify you when the NYS Education Department no longer allows this option.

The Watervliet Public Library is open for meetings and masks are required for unvaccinated people.

The Rensselaer Public Library requires advance reservation of tutoring space.

LVORC can provide space on the third floor at 71 First Street. Please contact Marie to make reservations.

The Literacy Zone on Clinton Avenue in Albany can accommodate tutors and learners – please reserve space with Christine.

And of course you can meet outside in area public parks.

If you have questions, please contact LVORC at (518) 244-4650.
