Mission, Vision, and Goals
Our Mission: To foster and promote literacy and life skills among adults who request our assistance in Wood, Ritchie, and Wirt Counties in the state of West Virginia.
Our Vision: To help promote an adult population in the Mid-Ohio Valley in which each person has the reading, writing, and life skills necessary for his or her social and economic
needs.
Our Goal: To provide free and continuing tutoring in reading, writing, and life skills in a confidential, one-on-one environment to adult resident of the Mid-Ohio Valley who requests our assistance.
Why Is LVMOV Committed to Its Mission, Vision, and Goals?
President Clinton said, "Literacy is not a luxury; it is a right and a responsibility" (International Literacy Day, 1994), and statistics show that there are large numbers of citizens who are not prepared to exercise that right.
Eighteen million adults in the United States do not read well enough to earn a living wage.
According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, 13%-20% of adult West Virginians function at the lowest literacy level; similarly, statistics from the State of West Virginia show that 11% of adults in Wood County function at the lowest literacy level.
West Virginia ranked 33rd--tied with three other states--on the lowest percentage of adults functioning at Level 1 literacy.
