Become a Literacy Volunteer!

New volunteer orientation dates set for January 2016

Literacy Volunteers of Morris County is proud to have nearly 300 volunteers in Morris County helping to change lives and impact future generations through literacy.

Did you know that 20% of adults have problems with reading and writing that impact their ability to work and function in our complex society? In Morris County one in five residents speaks a language other than English, and many are unable to work or are working at jobs beneath their capabilities. If you would like to help an adult improve his/her reading, writing or conversational English skills, please join Literacy Volunteers of Morris County on Saturday, January 23, 2016. We will be holding a tutor orientation at the Morristown Best Western Plus hotel from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. Prospective volunteers must register online at www.lvmorris.org or by calling 973-984-1998. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, have their high school diplomas, and be fluent in English. No teaching experience is required. LVMC tutors work with their students just one hour a week and pick the time and public place that is most convenient for the tutors. For information can be found at www.lvmorris.org.
