Founded in 1978, LVCC provides small group and one-on-one literacy tutoring to over 400 adults in the communities of New Britain, Middletown, Bristol, Berlin, Burlington, Cromwell, Durham, East Haddam, East Hampton, Haddam, Kensington, Marlborough, Middlefield, Plainville, Portland, and Southington. Tutors are all volunteers and receive high quality training, free of charge, prior to becoming a Literacy Volunteer.

In addition to the adult literacy program, LVCC founded the Central CT Family Literacy Center, which provides educational programs to low-literate mothers with children under the age of 8 who need to learn English to support their children’s success in school, or to help them earn their GED. The center provides childcare for approximately 20 children while mothers are in class.
