We've Moved!!

We've moved our headquarters to 230 N. Beach St., Suite 1 (in the Early Learning Coalition building).  Our rent now goes to support another worthy nonprofit!

The Volusia Literacy Council is a 30-year-old United Way partner agency offering free one-on-one and small-group tutoring for adults with minimal reading and math abilities or who speak English as a second language.  In our partnership with Daytona State College, we are the first step for hundreds of adults who want to improve their literacy so they can enroll in GED courses and eventually enter college. We help adults (age 16 and above) improve reading, writing, language, math and workplace skills so they can apply for jobs, earn job promotions, read to their grandchildren and get their citizenship. Our team of dedicated volunteer tutors and the support of generous people in our communities make our free programs possible. Please consider donating to the Volusia Literacy Council or volunteering to be a tutor. Call (386) 255-8723.
