Giving Feels So Good!
We would like to acknowledge the support we receive from the Berkshire Athenaeum, which, since 1980, has provided us space for our administrative offices and tutor library, and from Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts, a statewide organization funded by the Massachusetts Department of Education.
At Literacy Volunteers of Berkshire County, we firmly believe that literacy is the cornerstone of a thriving and inclusive society. Unfortunately, limited English proficiency continues to be a significant barrier for many individuals including our New Americans, hindering their opportunities for personal and professional growth. Our organization is committed to empowering adults through literacy education, ensuring they can unlock their full potential and actively participate in the community.
​
The impact of illiteracy goes beyond the individual; it affects families, the local economy, and the overall social fabric of our community. Your support plays a vital role in our ability to address this critical issue effectively.
