Louise Doud brings 15 years’ experience as a reading specialist to her new part-time position as program coordinator for Literacy Volunteers of Orange/Athol (LVOA).
The Warwick resident, who started in mid-October, has administrative experience and knowledge of the community. Doud said she works with “anyone who’s had trouble learning to read.”
LVOA provides free, private, and confidential tutoring to people ages 16 and older in basic reading and writing, and in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), through professionally trained and supported volunteer tutors. It is an affiliate of Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts (LVM) and the United Way of North Central Massachusetts.
