Our Mission
To teach adults to read, write, speak and understand English so that they may achieve personal, educational, employment and civic goals. About Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury, Inc.
Literacy Volunteers was founded in Syracuse, New York in 1962. It quickly grew into a national organization with affiliates throughout the U.S. In 2002, Literacy Volunteers of America merged with Laubach Literacy to form ProLiteracy Worldwide, the largest adult literacy organization in the world.
Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury (LVGW) was founded in 1974. As an accredited affiliate of ProLiteracy America, we are proud to be a member of a national and international network of community-based education programs. LVGW is located in the lower level of the Silas Bronson Library, Waterbury.
LVGW strives to meet the literacy needs of adults in the Greater Waterbury area residing in the following 14 towns: Waterbury, Wolcott, Plymouth, Thomaston, Prospect, Naugatuck, Beacon Falls, Oxford, Cheshire, Bethlehem, Middlebury, Southbury, Woodbury, and Watertown/Oakville.
LVGW offers Adult Student Programs in Basic Literacy (BL) for adults who speak English but read and write at very low levels, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) for non-English speakers who need instruction in reading, writing, speaking and understanding English, and Family Literacy designed for parents of children in pre-school and elementary school.
