About Us

Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester was established in 1973 as a one-to-one English language tutoring program in Worcester. Forty-six years later, we have served well over 11,000 adults in need of English language literacy education!

This past year, we had over 100 volunteers and 13 part-time specialized ESOL teachers. All volunteers, teachers, and staff dedicate their time to help adult immigrants, refugees, and basic literacy students learn to read, write, and speak the English language. We served 566 unique students and filled 898 seats across our programs in FY20!

Many of our students are working and raising families while learning the English language. We provide free, flexible, individualized, and confidential English language tutoring for communicative and literacy development. Ultimately, our students have goals beyond English language proficiency, including employment, education, and economic security.

Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester is a proud affiliate of Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts, and an active member of ProLiteracy and GuideStar. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, donations are tax-deductible and necessary to provide our educational services to low-income adults.
