My Nonprofit Reviews

I am so honored to have been associated with this organization as a volunteer for the past 4 years. I've served as a teacher's aide, a teacher, a tutor, a tester, and now a booster to let others know how much i believe in LCNV and the work that it is doing. I rarely (if ever) have given a "far exceeds expectations" to an organization, but there are at many reasons LCNV deserves this one. When i retired and joined LCNV 4 years ago, I expected to feel good about joining any organization who's mission was to help the newest (and often neediest) of our non-English speaking communities to participate more fully everyday by learning, speaking, reading and writing English. Who wouldn't want to help? But I didn't expect to be incredibly impressed by the other volunteers who were so warm, welcoming, and dedicated to the LCNV mission; it was so obvious they were making a real difference in the lives of their students and enjoying every minute of it. And i really didn't expect to be impressed with the various and diverse programs LCNV is delivering across a variety of levels from very early learners to more advanced workforce development programs. So those things exceeded my expectations. But the LCNV staff and the LCNV vision have blown me away and far exceeded my expectations with their dedication and vision, demonstrating incredible respect for all learners of all difference cultures and needs. WELL DONE!! I'm in the process of relocating across country so sadly will not be able to volunteer with LCNV in the future. But I want everyone to know I believe in this organization so much I am making small monthly contributions so that LCNV may continue to fund scholarships for the very neediest students.
P.S. Of course I've read other reviews on this site. I can't imagine where the negastive comment originated......a very different LCNV than the one i have known since 2015.
