Literacy Volunteers of Clinton County is a dedicated social services organization committed to empowering adult learners through free, confidential literacy tutoring. Serving the greater Plattsburgh area, the organization focuses on helping adults improve their reading, writing, and English language skills to enhance their lives and contribute more fully to the community.

Its learner-centered approach ensures supportive, respectful interactions that build confidence and independence. With deep roots in the community, Literacy Volunteers partners with local libraries, educational institutions, and workforce development programs to provide integrated services.
