1972 – Birth of an Agency

June 7, 2017 By

A small group of dedicated volunteers officially formed Literacy Volunteers of Greater Hartford on September 27, 1972.  Based at Asylum Hill Congregational Church, the first year’s entire operating budget was just $3,600.  The all-volunteer staff focused on recruiting and training volunteer tutors, who served an impressive 116 Basic Literacy students in the first year.   One-on-one tutoring took place at variety of community sites: churches, libraries, community centers, local corporations like CIGNA, Aetna, and Hartford Hospital- even city parks!
