Can you imagine being unable to read this website, a street sign, instructions on a bottle of medicine, or even a note from your child's teacher? Have you ever wanted to make a real difference in the community? By volunteering with the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, you can change the lives of adults who want to develop basic reading, writing, and English speaking skills.
With the help of volunteers who serve as teachers, class aides, tutors and testers, the Literacy Council is able to teach hundreds of English language learners in Falls Church and at 14 other sites across Northern Virginia. Prior teaching experience is ideal but not required to get involved -- training, curriculum, and support will be provided.

The mission of the English Empowerment Center is to teach adults the basic skills of reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English so they can access employment and educational opportunities and more fully and equitably participate in the community.
Description
Established in 1962, the English Empowerment Center (formerly Literacy Council of Northern Virginia) has over 60 years of experience in English language instruction. Each year, EEC serves nearly 1,500 learners, many of whom are struggling to get by with minimal English-language skills.
