Mission

Literacy Volunteers of Rochester, Inc. is an organization of trained volunteers dedicated to providing one-to-one or small group tutoring to functionally illiterate adults and to others lacking English language skills, and to fostering literacy in the greater Rochester NY area.

Our services are provided free of charge. We generally accept into the program students who read below an eighth grade reading level. Among speakers of other languages, emphasis is placed on the newcomer whose need for English is urgent and whose level is low.
