The Greenville Literacy Association (GLA) has served the community of Greenville, South Carolina, and surrounding areas for 50 years. GLA is the largest community-based adult literacy program in South Carolina and is one of the most highly developed in the nation. Greenville Literacy recruits and trains community volunteers to provide instruction for adults who request assistance. Greenville Literacy has expanded its services to three fully equipped and staffed learning centers across Greenville County and assists church and neighborhood literacy programs near these centers. VISION: Educate. E...nrich. Empower. MISSION STATEMENT: Greenville Literacy Association's mission is to enrich our community by increasing the literacy and employability of our citizens. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: Greenville Literacy Association always needs new volunteers.

GLA is also a training site for the Work Ready Communities project, providing WorkKeys certification. All volunteer tutors attend a training workshop prior to teaching.
