Dear LVGW Community,


We are pleased to share the enclosed report summarizing FY26 organizational highlights. These achievements are only possible through the generosity of our donors and the dedication of the volunteers who serve LVGW.


This October, we hope you'll join us for our annual meeting where we'll celebrate the accomplishments of the last year and share our vision for the year ahead. As our students’ needs grow more complex, LVGW remains committed to providing free, flexible, and inclusive adult education.


Warm regards,

Sienna Ablorh

Executive Director

International Literacy Day: September 8

This International Literacy Day, we’re celebrating the power of literacy to open doors, strengthen communities, and create new opportunities. At Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester, every lesson, conversation, and connection helps adult learners build confidence and participate more fully in their communities.


Want to be part of the impact? Here are five ways to take action today:

  1. Volunteer: Become a volunteer tutor and help students improve their English language and literacy skills.
  2. Get Social: Follow LVGW on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
  3. Shop: Visit our Amazon Wish List for current student needs.
  4. Donate: Support LVGW via a donation.



In FY26, more than 500 students from 58 countries studied English with LVGW. Through our classes and individualized tutoring, these students improved their language and literacy skills, built lasting friendships and developed the confidence needed to navigate life in America.
