THE DICTIONARY PROJECT

During October VFL is taking dictionaries to all third-grade students in Habersham County Schools. Volunteers don a cap and gown and speak with the students about the importance of staying in school. Along with the bright yellow The Best Dictionary for Students, kids receive a writing pen inscribed with their graduation date - 2032!

2022-23 English Language Acquisition Classes Begin

After more than a year of class interruptions due to COVID-19, VFL partnered with Cornelia First Presbyterian Church and free English Language Acquisition (ELA) classes began on September 6 on the church campus. A $6,000 grant from Dollar General enabled VFL to hire an experienced director/instructor who, with the help of volunteer teachers, tested and placed students in appropriate classes for learning English. Mr. Jim Miner, who began the program more than a decade ago, is teaching citizenship to those eager to begin the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. Thanks to Cornelia Presbyterian and United Way of Habersham County, VFL also is providing transportation and childcare to those who need it. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am - 2 pm. An afternoon class also is available on Wednesdays.



We are many volunteers with one mission:
To empower people through literacy so they can lead more productive and fulfilling lives.
