Goodwill of Southwestern PA is looking for individuals who enjoy helping others to make an impact in the adult learning community by assisting instructors in the ONLINE classroom.
We are mainly looking for volunteers who can work with students on basic reading skills for people who are not native English speakers, with direction provided by the classroom teacher. These are students who have graduated from our English Language program and have transitioned into our HSE/GED program. Our students are working to take the GED tests to obtain their High School Equivalency diplomas.
Classes are in the mornings from 10:00-12:00PM on Mondays and Wednesdays. A desire to help adult students achieve their educational goals and an interest in the subject matter is always a plus! All Volunteers must live in either PA or one of the bordering states (NJ, NY, OH, MD, WV). Those interested can contact Ashley Reilly, Education Volunteer Coordinator by text at 412-498-0412 or by email at ashley.reilly@goodwillswpa.org
