  • Hoffman Car Wash Helping Hands

    Did you know that you can buy car wash tickets and support literacy?

    Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County is participating in the Hoffman Car Wash Helping Hands fundraiser. This is an easy way to support LVORC and at the same time get a clean car and help a local business. LVORC will get 50% of the proceeds from every ticket purchased.

    The fastest and easiest way to buy these car wash tickets is online at our custom home page on the Helping Hands website. Here you can buy tickets and have them delivered electronically directly to an email or mobile device.  You can also see our fundraiser progress and learn more about us.

    Share this link with your friends, family, coworkers – everybody needs a car wash and selling them online is easy for everyone. Thank you so much for supporting literacy in our community.

  • LVORC is Now in Albany, Too

    Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County (LVORC) is expanding its presence and literacy services in the community by taking over the literacy work of the Albany office of Literacy New York Greater Capital Region. Anyone who might like to be a literacy tutor or to volunteer in any way is welcome to join a Volunteer Opportunities Information Session on Thursday, February 11 at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom. To register, contact mhellerlvorc@aol.com or call 518 244-4650.

  • Welcoming Students and Volunteers

    LVORC is offering in-person tutoring, testing, intake, etc. with specific safety requirements in place. We can also continue remote instruction for the time being.  Tutors and learners can choose the type of instruction that suits them at this point in time.

    All students, visitors and volunteers will be required to make an appointment before coming to the office. Please call (518) 244-4650 to schedule an appointment.

    All will be informed when setting up the appointment of the requirements that include wearing a face covering, using hand sanitizer, having temperature taken, completing a health screening, and signing in before meeting with any staff or using any spaces (resource room, conference rooms).

    We ask for your full cooperation in following these guidelines for the safety of all.

    Thank you – together we can continue to make a positive difference during these difficult times. Be safe and stay healthy!
