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.

Basic Literacy Tutor Training involves a commitment of 20 hours.

  • Thursday, March 25, 2010, 4:00 - 6:00 pm   and 
  • Friday and Saturday, March 26 and 27, 2010, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

English as a Second Language Training involves a commitment of 20 hours.

  • Thursday, February 25, 2010, 4:00 - 6:00 pm   and
