LVORC  needs volunteers in Albany County and Rensselaer County. Anyone who is interested can attend a free information session on Wednesday, July 13 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. via Zoom. To register, call 518 244-4650 or email mhellerlvorc@aol.com. LVORC trains volunteer tutors to be paired with adult learners; reading mentors for Everybody WINS! Power Lunch; math tutors and computer tutors. We also welcome one-time events volunteers. As a volunteer you can develop new skills, make friends, and see how your efforts make a difference in your community.

Thank you for your support for our 2021-22 Annual Appeal. Together you raised over $10,000 and we are extremely grateful to you. If you didn’t have a chance to donate and would like to, please click here.
