Our History – Literacy Volunteers – Stamford/Greenwich, Inc. (LVSG) opened its doors in 1972 with a part-time director, ten students and ten volunteers. Since then the organization has evolved into one of the leading providers of education programs for older youth, adults and families in Fairfield County. Today we aspire to teach our students the skills necessary to adapt and prosper in a global economy. We do this through a variety of initiatives including job training and work preparation, financial literacy education, English language classes, and transition services that help students prepare for post-secondary education, among others. Thanks to over 100 dedicated volunteer tutors, more than 500 students annually have the opportunity to discover the power that education has to transform lives.


LVSG is proud to be an accredited affiliate of ProLiteracy America. Based on student achievements, LVSG is ranked among the top five percent of the nation's volunteer-based adult education programs.
