Monongalia County Literacy Volunteers, established in 1983, is an organization that envisions a community where all people, who so desire, have the literacy skills and knowledge needed to:

• Break the intergenerational cycle of illiteracy
• Communicate in English
• Be active in their children’s education
• Make informed, healthy lifestyle choices
• Make informed financial decisions
• Use technology to better their lives
• Obtain safe and affordable housing
  

MCLV also envisions a community that understands the economic repercussions of illiteracy, that financially and physically supports literacy efforts, and becomes an invested, active participant in the battle against illiteracy.
