Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts is a nonprofit organization that provides free literacy and ESOL tutoring to adults, operating through a statewide network of programs. Each year, the group supports more than a thousand learners by offering individualized, confidential tutoring that is flexibly scheduled to accommodate personal barriers such as embarrassment, time, or transportation, with the aim of improving everyday literacy skills and self-sufficiency. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, LVM serves adults with low literacy levels and emphasizes tutor training and ongoing staff support to ensure productive student-tutor matches. The organization has a long-standing presence in the industry of adult education and seeks to enable learners to pursue improved life opportunities and community involvement through sustained engagement, typically with volunteers who commit to multiple months of instruction.
