The Program

Literacy Volunteers of Washington County uses the Laubaugh Way to Reading.  The program currently has 40 participating volunteers providing literacy training for 36 students (above the age of 16) in Washington County.

That includes 10 foreign non-English adults who are taught English, GED Preparedness, and Citizenship.  Currently four students in the LVWC program are in the process of completing their GED for a high school diploma.

As a literacy volunteer you will receive tutor training through a series of workshops, employing audio/visual presentations, demonstrations, and role playing.  These workshops will prepare you to teach one on one, or in small groups.  Then you will be matched with an adult learner and can meet with him or her at a location convenient to both of you, such as a library, learning center, school, or church.  Your literacy student and you will determine your own meeting schedule.

Other ways to help

Lead tutor training workshops - Plan and manage programs - Assist with administrative tasks - Spread the news about the program to prospective tutors and learners - Contribute tax deductible dollars to help with the cost of materials and services needed to support the tutoring program.
