What is Common Heart Literacy Volunteers?
Common Heart Literacy Volunteers are community members who care about their neighbors like you.
We are volunteers engaged in a small revolution of kindness in our community.
Literacy impacts every part of a person’s life. Every day we read street signs or a note from our child’s teacher without thinking about it. But so many of our neighbors struggle with these basic tasks. To them, reading is a life line. Check out this video!
