An Update from Literacy Volunteers of C’ville

February 6, 2020 by Kate Brinkley

Westminster has been contributing to the Literacy Volunteers Citizenship Program through Literacy Volunteers of Charlottesville/Albemarle. Here are some exciting updates and opportunities for our deeper involvement in their meaningful work.
A New Coordinator 
This month the program welcomed Catherine McCall as Citizenship Coordinator. Catherine previously served as a citizenship class teacher for one of the organization’s intermediate classes. Prior to moving to this area, she was coordinator for Social Studies Education at the University of Maryland. Catherine will teach citizenship classes, lead workshops, support tutors and their students working toward citizenship, and conduct intake interviews with new students.
Student Milestones
In 2019 the program had 25 students pass their citizenship test. Six students passed just last month! Many of those students took their Oath of Allegiance on February 7, at a Citizenship Ceremony at the Charlottesville US Courthouse, at 11 a.m. All are invited!
New Tutor Trainings
Members of Westminster are also invited to participate in upcoming new tutor training sessions. The program is always in need of dedicated volunteers willing to help adult learners improve their lives through literacy and English language education. Here’s a schedule of trainings:
Tuesday, February 11 & Wednesday, February 12
5:30 – 8:30 p.m. / must attend both evenings / dinner provided each night
Saturday, March 7
9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. / lunch provided
Saturday, April 25
9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. / lunch provided
For more information or to register, call 434-977-3838.
