Other Ways to Give
Help LVSC With Your Everyday Activities
Small acts of kindness go a long way. And there are several ways you can help LVSC with everyday actions - whether it’s asking your employer if they match donations or holding a Facebook fundraiser. You can also make a longer-term investment in literacy by including LVSC in your will or donating appreciated stock. Every action is appreciated!
Each year LVSC must raise funds to support every area of activity undertaken by the organization. This includes recruiting and training tutors, enrolling and assessing students, purchasing training materials and technology subscriptions, providing ongoing support to tutors and students, managing a robust program schedule, and developing new literacy initiatives. The activities make LVSC's programs not only exceptional, but free to our students.
