Who We Are

Literacy Volunteers of Washington County is a nonprofit organization offering free literacy programs in reading, writing, and speaking English to adults in Washington County and Southeastern CT. Our focus is on helping adults to achieve their individual goals, whether applying for citizenship, getting a better job, going to college, or simply being able to better communicate with others. Our volunteers assist Adult Basic Education learners (native speakers of English) and English as a Second Language learners. Literacy Volunteers began as as Westerly Public Library outreach program in 1982. By 1988, LVWC had developed its own bylaws, Board of Directors, and become incorporated. In 1991, LVWC received 501(c)3 nonprofit status.
