Literacy Volunteers of America, Essex/Passaic Cty.

OUR MISSION
LVA provides free literacy services to adults who have been identified as needing instruction in reading and/or English conversation; and families who are experiencing literacy and/or learning difficulties. The resulting acquisition of literacy and life-coping skills will better enable both adults and families to attain their personal, educational and career goals. To accomplish this, LVA recruits and trains volunteer tutors and professional teaching staff to instruct identified adults and families.


OUR BELIEFS
LVA believes that, regardless of ability, each adult student has an innate capacity to develop intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally and will develop at different rates, utilizing different styles and in different environments.

LVA believes that education is the process by which this development occurs and must be individualized and interactive to meet the learner's needs. The LVA Basic Literacy, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Family Literacy programs are the vehicles for delivering this process, and literacy is its outgrowth.

LVA believes that to achieve the highest level of success, it is important to provide each adult student with a supportive environment for learning. For this reason, a partnership between the community and LVA is essential.
