Give the Gift of Literacy

Help Wipe Out Illiteracy

Literacy Volunteers of America, Essex & Passaic Counties, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting illiteracy, needs your help.

We have a long list of people who want to improve their lives by learning to do things we often take for granted: Explaining an ailment to a family doctor; writing a note to a schoolteacher when a son or daughter is absent; making out a grocery shopping list; reading street signs and more.

But we need tutors. As a volunteer tutor, you can help people achieve a more rewarding life by teaching them to read, write and speak English. Register for our Tutor-Training Workshop at the Montclair Public Library, 50 S. Fullerton Ave., Montclair, held Saturdays, 12:15-4:45 pm, on Jan. 11, 18, Feb. 1, 8, 2014. Attendance at all sessions is required; teaching experience or knowledge of another language is not. It costs only your time. For more information, please e-mail Russell
at lvaessex@verizon.net or call 973-566-6200 ext. 217. We can't do it without
you. Please join our campaign to battle illiteracy.
