This is because they fund the Literacy programs, evaluate the programs and may have information on how volunteers are used in the programs they are involved with. Other groups include: Laubach Literacy Tutors, and organizations who should be listed in each community's directory of local community social service agencies. In my own region agencies involved in literacy include our Mayor's Commission on Literacy, Penna Newspaper Publishers Assn, State Dept of Eduxcation, Central PA Literacy Council. Perhaps that gives you an idea of the variety of resources to look at in exploring volunteers opportunities. In PA there are also Literacy Core teams which are manned by local students in the State College system. (I think I covered most of the ones I know) Kathyann
