LVWCC Donors Make Changing Lives PossibleDonors
As a learner or tutor at LVWCC, you can change your own life and help others do the same. A gift of $25, $50, $75, or $100 makes a difference. It will:
  • train a tutor
  • buy a set of consumable workbooks
  • make our website better
  • help us offer new online courses to learners and tutors
All of these resources equip us to reach adults who want a better life.

We have raised 38% of our goal for individual donations, and we have 3 months to do the rest. We can only do it with your help. Donate online today.

If you would prefer to write a check, our mailing address is LVWCC, PO Box 4502, Oak Park, IL 60304.
