  Broward County Public Schools use volunteer tutors to provide valuable one-on-one assistance for students enrolled in adult literacy programs. Volunteers also work with small groups to help students gain competence in reading, math, English and life coping skills.

Through Broward School's Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) program, an affiliate of the national LVA organization, volunteers can enroll in an 18-hour tutor training program to become certified LVA tutors. These tutors are then placed in adult education classrooms through the county as a support to teachers and students. Volunteer orientation and tutor training classes are held periodically throughout the year in various locations. For more information, please e-mail Neeta Rancourt of Broward County Public Schools or call Luanna Bassion or RuthAnn Martin at .
