A little about who we are...
Volunteers for Adult Literacy in Florida (VALF) is a nonprofit membership organization which provides training, technical assistance and grants for volunteer literacy programs. VALF seeks to enhance and promote the abilities of individuals and organizations to provide direct and indirect literacy instruction to adults and families in need through volunteer service. VALF seeks to spread the ability to read, write and speak the English language to be provided in all 67 counties of the state of Florida through the services of trained literacy volunteers.
