Project Literacy is a non-profit, community based organization dedicated to improving literacy rates among adults in Danville, Virginia. We firmly believe that literacy is the foundation of education, opportunity, and social and civic participation.
Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, and listen in a way that lets us makes sense of the world.¹
Did you know that nearly 20% of your fellow people in Danville and the surrounding area struggle to read and write? That’s nearly one in every five citizens of the city. You may believe that you don’t know anyone who struggles with literacy; and yet, with nearly one in five people affected, you probably do. People who struggle to read and write often hide the fact even from their closest loved ones.
Project Literacy offers one-on-one tutoring for adults 18+ years old.
Our tutors are trained volunteers who spend at least an hour a week with each client.
JeopardBee is an adult spelling bee in the format of the popular television game show, Jeopardy.
By giving just an hour or two of your time each week as a volunteer tutor, you can help improve literacy in our community. Learn more about how to become a volunteer at Danville Project Literacy today!
You can also support Danville Project Literacy’s work in the community by donating so we can continue to provide these services to our neighbors. Donating to Project Literacy is a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, honor someone, or remember a life well-lived.
