                 Literacy Volunteers of America

                              [LVA]

 

 

     Literacy Volunteers, Inc. was founded in 1962 by Ruth J.

Colvin in Syracuse, New York. Mrs. Colvin's interest in literacy

grew out of the global mission of her denomination and exposure

to the work of Frank Laubach and Welthy Honsinger Fisher.

Planning to encourage her church to support literature programs

in Africa, Mrs. Colvin learned of the high number of illiterates

in the United States. Focusing on the illiterate in her local

area she gave over 90 presentations educating the community to

the problem at hand. Thus LVA had it's beginnings. In 1972 the

name was changed to Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc.(LVA).

LVA is a nonprofit educational organization whose main aim is "to

provide training and program support for volunteers who tutor

adults and teenagers, one to one, to write and speak

conversational English." A National Endowment for the Humanities

grant in 1979 enabled the production of a bibliography of

humanistic materials at low reading levels. In 1991 the

organization had grown to over 400 programs in 33 states. Mrs.

Colvin has traveled to over 40 countries presenting workshops and

serving as a consultant to literacy programs. Areas of special

interest are: English as a Second Language: work within

correctional facilities; literacy and public libraries; the

production of readers and workbooks (READ ON!); involvement in

the National Right to Read Effort and the development of

slide/tape and later video tutor training workshops.

 

     The collection covers the period 1962-1988 with the bulk

falling between 1971 and 1985.  The LVA Collection contains

office records of the organization and the papers of Ruth J.

Colvin. The collection is divided into two main areas, General

Files and Ruth J. Colvin. material is arranged in alphabetical

order by subject. Material in the collection includes: audio

tapes and cassettes, correspondence, motion pictures,

newsletters, primers, readers, reports, slides and video tapes.
