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.

Volunteer Tutoring BOOK Readers

Thanks to the many volunteers of the Valencia County Literacy Council (VCLC), dreams can come true. Without these generous people, Valencia County would be a very unhappy place for some of us. VCLC’s volunteers give their time, patience, and knowledge to help their community and its members.

For over 20 years, VCLC’s volunteers have been tutoring Valencia County residents in Basic Literacy (Reading), English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Citizenship, Basic Math, and pre-GED. VCLC also recruits Volunteer BOOK Readers to read to children in local low-income medical clinics.
