Review for English Empowerment Center (formerly Literacy Council of Northern Virginia), Falls Church, VA, USA
I moved from California to Northern Virginia, February 2018. While preparing to move, I visited a website called www.volunteermatch.com and found LCNV. Volunteer Match notified LCNV on December 9, 2017. Correspondence between LCNV and myself began on December 11, 2017, with the application process. The cosmos aligned and I was ready to hit the ground running upon my arrival to Northern Virginia.
The assistance and enthusiasm I received from LCNV staff, is the same for their students. I am extremely grateful to LCNV for facilitating the connections made within the community through students, and their families. In my experience, the students cannot wait to signup for the next class, and they hold themselves accountable to advance to the next level. Learning does not only affect the student, but everyone in the household is connected as a support system.
I view LCNV as a pebble that causes a ripple effect of positive reinforcement. By cultivating a positive learning environment, LCNV optimizes its resources by offering them in multiple locations via online or in-person. Changing the world around us, a community at a time. Thank you LCNV for everything!
