Literacy
Volunteers provides free, quality tutoring and
encouragement for adults who want to learn to read, write
and speak English. LVSF was established in 1985 and is
affiliated with Santa Fe Community College. The demand for
literacy services is growing. The program trains and
supports over 100 volunteer tutors and over 700 students
annually. Because of the economy, annual giving and grant funding has decreased by half. LVSF has had to lay off most of its staff and close its computer lab/learning center at Gallegos Lane. Nonetheless, this award-winning, non-profit organization remains dedicated to helping educationally disadvantaged adults in the community learn to read and speak English from its home base at Santa Fe Community College, at workplaces and community locations. Funds are needed to support literacy and ESL students and tutors. It costs $35 to purchase training materials for each tutor and $100 or more to purchase high-interest, low-reading level instructional materials and dictionaries for each student. LVSF’s
programs are integral to strengthening Santa Fe’s
economy and supporting working families.
Programs help improve learners’ quality of life
and create a greater sense of community.
Socioeconomic problems such as poverty,
unemployment, crime, and human rights abuses cannot be
solved without addressing the need for adults to have
strong reading, writing and math skills.
Literacy skills are a key component of
self-sufficiency for adult low-wage workers who are either
non-English speakers with limited formal education and
English speakers with low reading skills. |
