The Platte Valley Literacy Association evolved from a group of volunteer tutors in the early 1980s. As the director of the Columbus Public Library, Robert Trautwein was instrumental in responding to the need for more reading tutors. Mr. Trautwein wrote many grants that initiated programs that are still flourishing today. Many passionate individuals have shaped our organization into what it is now.
In 1990, Platte Valley Literacy Association was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit. As the years have gone by, PVLA has adapted in order to provide valuable services that address the current needs of community members. We are always interested in creating partnerships with like-minded organizations to enhance our programming and increase our ability to refer our clients to local services.
The primary objective of the Platte Valley Literacy Association has been to offer adult education programs. This program is composed of many smaller services and is responsive to community needs. The mission of Adult Education is to provide educational opportunities for adults to improve their literacy skills to a level requisite for effective citizenship and productive employment. This includes preparation for and successful completion of the high school equivalency program.
