Each year we invite you to nominate a dedicated volunteer tutor and a committed adult learner for recognition.
Our awards are named in honor of two people near and dear to our hearts: June C. Porter and Dorothy M. Miaso.
June C. Porter Student of the Year
“Momma June was a surrogate Mother to me. She was always proud of her children, both biological and those like me who just latched on. Her students, some of whom were once mine as well, Vicki, Bea, Harold, Bertha, Joyce, so many! We all loved her kindness, patience, and wisdom. Literacy Volunteers of Illinois and I will miss her so much.”
—Chamala Jordan, Executive Director of LVI
Dorothy M. Miaso Tutor of the Year
