 Volunteers for Literacy

     A non-profit, United Way agency that develops and supports literacy programs in Habersham County, Georgia. 
     Established in 1989 through a partnership with North Georgia Technical College, VFL began as an adult literacy tutoring service.  Today VFL serves Habersham County residents of all ages through three signature programs:  Read to Succeed, English as a Second Language and GED Scholarships.
      VFL's mission is to establish and maintain programs that promote and foster literacy in Habersham County.
We work to empower people through literacy so they can lead more productive and fulfilling lives
