Find the Right Volunteer Opportunity: Visit the National Literacy Directory

If you’re ready to begin promoting literacy in your community, your first stop should be the National Literacy Directory. The Directory is a partnership between the National Center for Families Learning and ProLiteracy, with funding provided by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.

How does it work? The National Literacy Directory assists potential students and volunteers in locating nearby educational programs and services. In fact, the site boasts more than 7,000 listings nationwide!

Not only does the National Literacy Directory help potential volunteers, those looking for numerous literacy services benefit, too. For example, the National Literacy Directory can help those search find a testing center to take either the GED® or HiSET® test for a high school equivalency credential.

And, if you’re looking for meaningful literacy volunteer opportunities in Delaware or the surrounding tri-state area, consider hosting a book drive for Success Won’t Wait. It’s is a fantastic way to give back to your community, support literacy and do a little spring cleaning!

Organizing a successful book drive isn’t complicated. With just a bit of planning, your little book drive can make a big impact. Read our detailed breakdown, “Hosting a Book Drive: A Step-by-Step Guide” for more information.

Whichever way you choose to get involved, know that your contribution makes a real difference. According to the most recent statistics from the Literacy Institute, about 130 million US adults (54% of those aged 16–74) read below a sixth-grade level. But together, we can change that!
