Literacy Volunteers on the Green provides free English literacy instruction to adults in Litchfield and northern Fairfield Counties so they can participate fully in the communities we share. Our vision is for every adult to fulfill his or her life goals through English literacy.
We do this by promoting English literacy among individuals to help them become independent readers, writers, listeners, and speakers of English through classes as well as natural, authentic, real-life activities and experiences.
Rita Ann Woulfe Guariglia
Rita passed away on April 19, 2023, in Denver, Colorado, surrounded by her loving family. Rita was a lifelong educator and mentor and a devout parishioner of St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Brookfield, CT. The LVG community is deeply saddened by her loss; Rita remained an active tutor until 2022 and leaves behind students, tutors, and LVG staff and board members, each cherishing wonderful memories of an outstanding educator, prominent adult literacy activist, and dear friend.
