Volunteers are the lifeblood of Literacy Volunteers of Delaware and Otsego Counties. Whether you would like to become a tutor, help in our office, or raise funds, we need you!

TUTORS: We match tutors with students and help the pair develop a plan for tutoring sessions. (To learn more about the nuts and bolts of tutoring, see our Tutor FAQs.) The tutor/student relationship involves support, encouragement, sharing of successes, and, most of all, a lasting friendship. Students not only gain knowledge and become proficient in reading and writing, but also experience enhanced self-esteem and self-confidence.  Equally important, the tutor experiences learning and growth and discovers self-satisfaction in sharing the gift of reading and writing with another human being. Literacy Volunteers do make a difference in the lives of their students.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP: We can always use help in our office in Oneonta, and you or your organization can help with fundraising. Or … design your own role!
