Who We Are
Blue Ridge Literacy (BRL) (formerly Literacy Volunteers of America, Roanoke) is dedicated to reducing adult illiteracy. BRL provides free, one-on-one confidential tutoring for functionally illiterate adults in Roanoke Valley and those for whom English is a second language (ESL). The program provides services and materials to assist volunteers in conducting tutorial programs in basic literacy and conversational English. The tutoring time is scheduled between the learner and the volunteer and lasts about 2 hours per week. Donations are welcome to help keep pace with the changing societal literacy demands. Organizations or employers are encouraged to develop a workplace instructional program.
Call for the date and time for the next training workshop. The office is not wheelchair accessible; however, if any wheelchair-bound person desires to be trained, accommodations will be made.
