Mission Statement

VCLC’s mission is to enable adults to achieve personal goals and very young children to achieve pre-literacy skills through literacy services provided to families free of charge.

Vision Statement

We envision a Valencia County in which all residents have the Literacy skills they need to achieve their own dreams and to enhance the quality of their lives.

Core Values

  • We serve residents of Valencia County with low literacy and/or limited English-language skills.
  • We are committed to the use of volunteers to provide instruction.
  • We value quality instruction that is centered on Learners’ Own Goals.
  • We support the Adult Learner in all his/her capacities as a Community Member, Family Member, and Worker.
  • We support Adult Learner Leadership.
  • We believe that the ability to read is critical to personal freedom and the maintenance of a democratic society. 
  • We believe that as our culture becomes more complex and dependent on technology, Literacy becomes ever more basic to survival and the achievement of one’s potential. 
  • We work to encourage and assist other organizations and individuals who are committed to a literate society.
