As an organization serving and instructing adults, As an organization serving and instructing adults, LiteracyCNY has helped those who have been identified as illiterate be empowered with the skills and tools to achieve their goals. For the last 58 years since being founded by Ruth Colvin, thousands of students have been engaged through what is now a nationally recognized agency. The volunteer tutors have seen so many lives changed from the education they have been able to provide.
