Vision is to help adults become active, engaged citizens through literacy.
Mission-To teach literacy in terms of life, work and citizenship, using volunteers.

Description:
We recruit, train and support volunteers to become teachers and/or tutors to adults who desire to learn our language and culture. Volunteers commit to a minimum of two hours per week for a minimum 15 week term (8 weeks in summer).

History:
Literacy Volunteers Danbury was started in 1978 as the Danbury Reading Academy. Since then it has grown. Last year we served almost one thousand learners. Our largest program is adult tutoring in English as a second language.
