What is Literacy Volunteers of America, Eastern Orange County?

Literacy Volunteers of America, Eastern Orange County, Inc. is a not for profit corporation dedicated to reversing the illiteracy rate in our area.

The service area of LVA/EOC encompasses the Enlarged Newburgh City School District, the ninth largest district in the state, and includes the City of Newburgh and eleven towns.

We provide totally private one-on-one tutoring which is available free of charge to our students.
