Become an ESL tutor! Training provided. LEARN MORE.
Imagine not understanding your child’s teacher; being held back in a job because of your reading skills; or just struggling with everyday tasks. When you help someone improve their English language skills, imagine the impact you can have.
An hour or two a week is all it takes to make a difference. With one-to-one or small group tutoring, you can help English as a Second Language (ESL) or Basic Literacy students improve their reading comprehension, writing skills, and conversational English. It all starts with an LVSC Tutor Training workshop, and ongoing support from the LVSC team.
If tutoring isn’t for you, there are other ways to help us improve literacy in Somerset County. LVSC needs volunteers to help our small staff run our large organization. If you’re interested in administrative work, fundraising, event planning, or joining the Board of Trustees, we’d love to talk to you.
LVSC events are an important part of our literacy community. They’re not just fundraisers, they’re a way for our tutors, students and supporters to share experiences. From our after-hours Fall Soiree in the library to the Golf Fore Literacy outing, there’s something for everyone.
Your donation helps provide instruction to adults who need English literacy to navigate the challenges of daily life. It also helps LVSC train new tutors and develop new programs.
Donations to the Student Success Center help to grow our lending library, expand resources and programming for students and tutors, and foster connection within our greater LVSC community.
There are many ways to support LVSC!
Trained tutors develop customized lessons to help students with their everyday needs.
Tutoring is offered at a time and place convenient to the student. Flexibility and useful lessons lead to success.
Who would guess that the graceful, poised speaker at LVSC's Golf Fore Literacy event was a self-proclaimed introvert who felt like a "giant baby" when she arrived in the United States?
