About Us

Literacy Unlimited is a group of volunteers who tutor adults in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), basic literacy, and citizenship preparation.

Literacy Unlimited Logo
 Established in 1986 and housed in the Framingham Public Library, Literacy Unlimited is an affiliate of Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts (LVM). We provide a  comprehensive program for training and supporting volunteers to teach basic English, reading, and writing skills to adult learners. Our organization is dedicated to increasing public awareness of the need to promote literacy in our community and expand the availability of educational programs that accomplish this. We hold the belief that literacy strengthens society and promotes equality among its members.

 

The mission of Literacy Unlimited is to help adults in our community learn to speak English, read, and write to achieve their educational and professional goals and thereby enrich their lives.

 
The tutoring we offer is confidential, individualized, student-centered, and free of charge. Adult learners and tutors, who usually work one-on-one, are carefully matched and supported to ensure the best opportunity for the student to reach their individual goals. Typical goals our students achieve include becoming employed or better employed, getting citizenship, finishing a GED, getting a driver's license, learning to read to their children, or simply becoming confident to participate and engage in our community.
 
We are supported by Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts (LVM), Cummings Foundation, Framingham's Community Development Block Grant program, Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation, the Community Foundation for MetroWest and other private grantors and individual donors. Our biggest annual fundraiser is held in May when we raffle off prize baskets displayed in the Framingham libraries. We also conduct an end-of-year annual appeal, but contributions are welcome at any time of the year!
