Adult literacy needs you ASAP! Give the gift of reading, writing & speaking English!

49% of adults in Santa Fe County are either functionally illiterate or speak only limited English!!! 49%!!!

LVSF's outreach is unique and impressive, including a variety of literacy programs from its home base at Santa Fe Community College, at workplaces in Santa Fe and in locations throughout the community.

Give the gift of reading, writing, and speaking in English by tutoring adults twice a week for 1-2 hours each time. The rewards are greater than you can ever imagine.
