Reading changes lives. From issues of social justice to gaining employment to keeping your family healthy in a pandemic, the ability to read is a game changer. Yet, so many in our community struggle with basic reading skills. Many have silently gone through life without being able to read and write above a basic level, impacting their ability to find a good job, get promoted, or help their children with schoolwork. Others are learning English as a second language, finding new hope as new citizens in the U.S.
Our volunteer tutors work with adult students in person for two hours, one day a week. No teaching experience required! All you need is the desire to learn and work with an adult learning. Volunteers participate in training that is a mix of in-person sessions and an online workshop.
Tutors are matched with students based on their schedule availability and meet at any public place, most usually a library, that works for both the tutor and the student.
