The Rotary Family Literacy Center at the YWCA commemorates the Centennial year of Rotary International, 2005.  It is a collaborative project of  The Rotary Club of Greenville, Greenville East Rotary Club, Pleasantburg Rotary Club, Foothills Rotary Club, Greenville Evening Rotary Club, and Simpsonville Rotary Club.  These 6 clubs have renovated a  new neighborhood Satellite Center for the Greenville Literacy Association (GLA) for basic literacy instruction, with an additional focus on English as a Second Language (ESL) to serve the immigrant community of Greenville.  

Hundreds of individual, corporate and foundation donors have contributed financial support to this landmark project.  CLICK HERE to make a donation.

Rotary volunteers staff the center, under the direction of Greenville Literacy Association.  Volunteer opportunities range from one to three hours a week.
