About LVOC

In 1985 Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc. granted full affiliate status to its offspring partner in Oswego County, NY. Literacy Volunteers of Oswego County (LVOC) was nurtured as a non-profit community-based educational organization and has continuously provided quality tutoring in basic literacy skills and conversational English. In June of 1993, the affiliate became an autonomous organization, breaking away from SUNY Oswego, who had served as its parent and fiscal agent since its resurgence. On July 19, 1994, LVOC was granted corporation status under section 402 of the Non-For-Profit Corporation law.
