Description:
Literacy Volunteers of the NRV (LVNRV) present an Open Sidewalk Event as part of the Give Local New River Valley Campaign coordinated by the Community Foundation of the NRV on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.

In celebration of literacy’s power to open doors to opportunity, Literacy Volunteers of the NRV will host an “Open Sidewalk” event outside from six-feet apart. Current and prospective volunteers, students, supporters and community partners are invited to stop by and learn about opportunities to engage with LVNRV to promote independence through literacy. In consideration of health and safety recommendations, LVNRV representatives will greet guests from a table set up in front of the learning center.

Curbside pick up of books and teaching materials will be available, free children's books will be distributed, potential learners and volunteers can ask questions and sign up and donors may support the organization’s life-changing work by helping to meet their $5,000 GiveLocalNRV goal to achieve a $5,000 match.

Your donation of any amount will help them better serve the 24,000 adults in the New River Valley with low literacy skills.

All guests will also receive a free candle because "literacy is a light out of darkness".

The event is rain or shine.

LVNRV also provides family literacy programming to help parents learn to read to their children and support their children’s education.

Despite the pandemic, instruction continues thanks to our dedicated, creative tutors who have developed distance education strategies using video-conference, phone, email, online programs, U.S. Mail and even front-porch book deliveries!
