Program Overview

Our mission is to change lives through literacy! We do this by providing opportunities for adults to learn, helping children succeed in school, and promoting reading and book ownership.

Literacy Volunteers of Wayne County offers comprehensive multi-generational educational activities to increase literacy, impact poverty, and help youth in our community to succeed.
