Literacy Forsyth is an organization that is so successful because of the hard work and dedication of its Volunteers. The organization has Volunteers who have given thousands of hours to provide free adult basic education to Forsyth County residents. Literacy Forsyth Volunteers complete a variety of task to help the organization run effectively, but the main role that Volunteers fill is that of Tutor.
