Volunteer Training

Literacy Volunteers of Greater Syracuse [LVGS] trains literacy volunteers to work with adult students, ages 16 and older. Students and tutors meet in public places, such as local libraries. Times for tutoring are flexible and convenient for the students. Tutors and students meet in one-to-one or small group sessions. LVGS services are individualized and student-centered. Our service is free!
