271 trained volunteers instructed and supported the students, who are working on reading, writing, and conversational English skills. LVA Provides an individualized, student centered approach that is most effective in serving the hard to reach adult population. LVA prepares these adults to move on to more formal adult education or job training. We are committed to the personal growth of our students. This means that we help people acquire basic literacy skills, and by doing this enable them to achieve broader personal goals.
Literacy is a necessary skill in itself and the foundation of other life skills.
Improving adult literacy skills today has a positive impact on the skill level of the next generation. As the educational level of adults improves, so does their children's success in school.
