Accreditation

The LVA Accreditation Program is a leading program that will change adult education in the volunteer sector and ultimately the entire field. This program is a dynamic new system which measures local affiliate performance against rigorous standards. These standards will continue to evolve in the quest for constant improvement.

LVA will identify and disseminate promising practices from the affiliate network and will incorporate these practices into existing standards, ultimately raising the performance threshold for all affiliates. This program will be expanded to include all literacy service providers nationwide.

The purpose of the LVA Accreditation program is to ensure that everyone enrolled in a volunteer literacy program receives quality services. In addition to establishing minimum standards, Accreditation will identify outstanding educational and management practices and encourage every volunteer literacy organization to excel.

While all LVA members will undergo a rigorous certification process, other literacy providers may also apply for LVA Accreditation. LVA's quality standards will become a benchmark for the entire adult volunteer literacy community.
