Literacy NRV

Unlock Potential Through Literacy

This Giving Tuesday, help adults in the New River Valley gain the skills they need to thrive. Your gift supports free literacy instruction in reading, writing, math, GED preparation, English for Speakers of Other Languages, digital literacy, and more. Together, we can empower individuals to achieve personal, professional, and civic goals—creating a stronger, more connected community.

Every dollar makes a difference. Donate today to change lives through literacy!

A whopping 24,000 adults in our New River Valley community struggle with reading. More than 7% of households speak English less than well. 9,000+ adults in the NRV lack a high school diploma.

Can you imagine how low-literacy skills impact one’s self-esteem and independence as well as ability to find and keep employment, navigate the healthcare system, and support a child's learning?

Together, we can create a community where every adult can achieve independence, empowerment, and self-sufficiency with literacy. 

Now, more than ever, our community needs us.
