History of the
LITERACY VOLUNTEERS OF PASCACK VALLEY
Helping People Learn English in New Jersey Since 1980
About Literacy Volunteers of Pascack Valley
Since 1980, Literacy Volunteers of Pascack Valley (LVPV) has invited libraries to join our Northern New Jersey network of ESL tutors and learning partners. If you are struggling with English as a second language or are looking to give back to the community by becoming an ESL tutor and volunteer, LVPV is here to assist you. Together we strengthen English language learners by building accessible, high-quality English instruction delivered where people already feel comfortable — at their local library.
Join us as a student, volunteer, tutor, donor, or library looking to launch or expand an ESL program that meets real needs in your community.
For immediate information and partnership details, contact Cheryl Chang, Coordinator, Literacy Volunteers of Pascack Valley at (201) 664-7597 or email Literacyvolunteerspv@gmail.com.
