The Literacy Volunteers of Sullivan County

Angela Dutcher, Executive Director of Literacy Volunteers of Sullivan County (“LV”), discussed the organization’s mission, programs, and operations. LV is twenty-three years old, and its goal is to teach literacy, basic math, and English as a second language to adults. The organization uses tutors and software programs to instruct its clients.

As part of its fundraising efforts, LV, accepts book donations. In turn, the donated books are available for sale to the public at LV’s two bookstores, which are located in Monticello and Bethel. LV is seeking:

• Volunteers in Bethel to expand the store’s hours of operations.
• Tutors to teach reading skills—a six session training program starts on April 6th to train prospective tutors.
• Donations of language and reading software and computers.

If you are interested in donating books, computers, software or volunteering, please contact LV at (845) 794-0017, or at http://www.literacysullivan.org.
