Literacy Volunteers of Santa Fe

Welcome!  Thank you for your interest in LVSF!

The mission of Literacy Volunteers of Santa Fe is to create opportunities and improve lives by providing free tutoring to adults in reading, writing, and speaking English.

If words cannot be spoken, read, or understood, individuals and community cannot thrive. Literacy empowers people to achieve their goals and participate fully in the community. LVSF serves as the bridge between those who want to learn and volunteers who want to share what they know.

Tutor Training: Basic Literacy (BL) or English as a Second Language (ESL) tutor training sessions are held several times a year. We ask you to commit to tutoring individuals or groups of students for at least a year. During that time, we ask that you meet at least twice a week for 1 and 1/2 hours. (Needless to say, time off for vacation is not a problem.) The rewards are greater than you can ever imagine. Please see Tutors section on this website for more information.

Please save the date!

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Literacy Volunteers of Santa Fe

Saturday, September 18, 5:30-7:30 pm
Scottish Rite Center

Come witness the incredible accomplishments of artist and literacy promoter, Phil Yeh.

Prior to the celebration, Phil and youth artists will paint a mural that promotes reading on a City bus. Phil has done over 1700 murals around the world and written 89 books over the past 25 years, so it's his anniversary, too. You'll get a copy of his book Winged Tiger, hear about his adventures, and, most importantly, support the work of our dedicated tutors, students, and staff.

Savor delicious hors d'oeuvres, experience the power of reading to transform lives, and see the bus mural!

Tickets are $50 each/$25 is tax-deductible.
