Every day, Literacy Volunteers hears from adults who want to be able to read, write, and/or speak and understand English better. Their requests are urgent. In many ways, their lives depend on it since better literacy affords a higher standard of living, access to better information to make decisions, and a sense of belonging--all things we value.
Volunteer tutors are needed to help adult students develop these skills. The volunteers feel great knowing that they are helping another on such a fundamental level.
If you enjoy teaching, coaching, or mentoring and are patient, empathetic, and flexible, we want you to join our team. Volunteer tutors receive advance training and then are carefully assigned an adult to help them either improve their reading, writing, and spelling and/or English speaking skills. We support tutor-student pairs with available materials, mentors, and activities.
Starting in January 2025, new Tutor Certification will be available entirely online. So an interested tutor can get the training whenever it works for them.
