This section contains information on Literacy Volunteers of America specifically, and literacy in general--all in one convenient location.

Exploring this section will give you a "snapshot" of LVA --who we are, what we do, and how and where we do it. You'll find information on LVA Accreditation, answers to common questions, a capsulized look at our history, a profile of our Featured Student of the Month, statements of our positions on key literacy- and volunteer-related issues, and details on how we're making news.

This section also provides you with an overview of literacy in America from a National perspective--literacy rates, profiles of adult non-readers, causes of low literacy, and economic impacts of literacy problems. We also provide you with a link to current "synthetic estimates" of adult literacy rates in every American municipality of 5,000 or more adults.
