There are many ways your Fox Valley business can help support our mission. How do you see yourself helping Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley?
Offer your space for workplace education.
Can you accommodate a tutor and student for their weekly one-hour lesson? Or are you interested in workplace education programs that help your employees? Our tutors and students meet various days, at various times. If you have an open space, it's likely that we have a tutor and student who can use it. Contact our executive director for more information here.
Advertise our tutor training workshops.
If you have a newsletter, a way to advertise online or a place to post flyers such as a Break Room, you can encourage interest in literacy volunteerism. Talk with our marketing team about our preprinted ads and releases.
Make a donation.
Has your company made its charitable contribution yet this year? It’s no secret that people patronize businesses that support the causes they believe in.
