Literacy Partners, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, provides free community-based adult and family literacy programs to ensure that all adults have the access to quality education needed to fully realize their potential as individuals, parents, and citizens.

Description and/or History:
For over thirty years, we have offered thousands of New York City adults free classes staffed by volunteers and professionals in reading, writing and numeracy. Our classes range from Basic Education to GED levels, as well as ESOL and Family Literacy classes, and are conducted at various NYC locations from Monday through Friday during the mornings, afternoons and evenings.
In 1973 Literacy Volunteers of NYC was founded and volunteers began to tutor students who met twice a week. In the early 1990's, LVNYC was renamed Literacy Partners, Inc. and became its own entity, no longer a branch of Literacy Volunteers of America. Through government, private and individual funding, and space donated by corporate partners and CBO's, Literacy Partners continues to strive for excellence and places emphasis on outcomes and accountability.
