    • Mission

    Our mission is to provide social and economic empowerment through culturally compassionate English language education.

    About Us

    With the help of our volunteer tutors, LVGW has served over 12,000 adult learners since 1973. We provide free and comprehensive training to our volunteers so they are fully equipped to plan lessons that meet the needs of a variety of adult learners.

    Tutoring and increased English proficiency helps our students:

    • develop greater self-esteem
    • exercise rights and responsibilities for themselves and their families
    • access job information and pursue career advancement
    • participate meaningfully in the community
    • become lifelong learners

    Our volunteers must:

    • be at least 18 years of age and have a minimum of a high school diploma or GED
    • demonstrate oral and written fluency in the English language
    • demonstrate good character and a desire to help others learn

    Cause Areas Include

    • Community Development
    • Education
    • Immigrants or Refugees
