Literacy Volunteers of Quebec

Literacy Volunteers of Quebec (LVQ) is a coalition of volunteer community groups that offer literacy services to Quebec's Anglophone population. LVQ was founded in 1980 as an association of Laubach affiliated literacy councils. It restructured in 1993 to include all volunteer-based community literacy organizations. The purpose of LVQ is to coordinate and assist member councils in enabling adult speakers of English to acquire basic skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking and mathematics, and to promote literacy in general. LVQ also encourages communication between Anglophone community and literacy groups. Lastly, LVQ member groups meet regularly to attend training sessions and exchange information.
