Did you know over 3.5 million adults in California have not obtained a high school diploma or equivalency certificate?
Math is a common barrier. We're here to work with YOU to close this gap and help someone achieve their dreams of being a high school graduate. You don't have to be a rocket scientist or calculus genius, but you will need patience and superior people skills to help adults learn basic and business math skills. Tutors may also assist learners with English language skills such as grammar, conversation, reading, and writing.
We provide volunteers with the training they need to effectively coach adults so no teaching or tutoring experience is required. Staff is always available for ongoing support for volunteers to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
Tutoring is done as a walk-in service so you'll meet people from all over the world and face different challenges every time you volunteer.
The adults who seek service from the library are also typically working to improve their reading, writing, and life skills so they can meet personal, work, and academic goals.
As a bonus, the Los Angeles Public Library Singleton Adult Literacy Center is located in the iconic and beautiful Central Library in downtown LA.

Mission Statement
The Los Angeles Public Library provides free and easy access to information, ideas, books and technology that enrich, educate and empower every individual in our city's diverse communities.
Description
The Los Angeles Public Library is largest public research institution west of the Mississippi.
With more than 70 branch libraries and Central Library subject departments serving millions of Angelenos on a yearly basis, our programs are supported by thousands of volunteers in a variety of capacities. Whether providing one on one literacy tutoring, cutting out craft supplies for story time activities, helping serve summer lunch at the library, or serving as a Friend of the Library, all volunteers play a role in the work of LAPL.
If you would like to volunteer, but don't see a listing that matches your interests, please contact your local branch or the Volunteer Engagement Office. Opportunities and needs vary by location and fluctuate throughout the year.
Please note that the minimum age for volunteers is 14 (with the exception of 11-13-year-olds joining Teen Councils), minimum time commitments are required for most opportunities, adult volunteers working with children will be fingerprinted, and LAPL does not accept court-mandated community service.
