Welcome to LVHC on the web! Our virtual resource center.
We are a non-profit organization serving Harrison County West Virginia.
We offer free and confidential tutoring to adults, teens, and children who seek to improve their skill set and work towards that goal.
We provide services to all ages Pre-K through adult. We do not discriminate due to gender, race, ethnicity, or economic status.
Our services are not income based.
We can only meet the needs of those needing assistance by the number of volunteers we have.
We encourage you to get involved and help others improve their literacy skills.
Literacy Volunteers of Harrison County Inc.
Partners with Proliteracy of West Virginia
- 10% of our population (123,622 people) had less than a 9th grade education (2000 census).
- Approximately 9,700 adults in Harrison County need help to complete an employment application, follow written instructions, or read a local newspaper.
- Approximately 12,800 adults would require a higher level of literacy to function effectively in society, find employment, or be trained for new jobs as the workplace changes.
- Many children and teens are struggling to keep up with their peers in reading and math classes.
- Helping adults with their basic skills can help solve many of West Virginia's economic and social problems. A person's chance of finding employment increases with improved reading skills. This, in turn, improves his/her ability to support a family.
