Ruth Johnson Colvin founded the Literacy Volunteers, transforming the lives of countless individuals through basic language education, emphasizing the power of community and volunteerism.
Years after her initial efforts, the organization grew to encompass hundreds of programs with 100,000 tutors across various languages, making a global impact on literacy.
Colvin's relentless pursuit of education for the illiterate demonstrated that passion and initiative could turn a personal mission into a widespread movement, altering lives and communities.
By focusing on immigrant populations and uniting community resources, Colvin not only addressed the issue of illiteracy but also laid the groundwork for citizenship opportunities and better living conditions.
