Dear Volunteers,
Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts trains volunteers to provide free, individualized, and confidential tutoring to adults in the areas of literacy (basic reading skills for native and proficient/fluent English speakers) and ESOL (English for speakers of other languages). Tutoring occurs in-person or, with some of our English Learners, online.
You do not have to have any experience teaching or tutoring to be a successful tutor. We run free 18-hour Basic Literacy and ESOL trainings throughout the year. Our next online basic literacy training starts Saturday January 18, 2025. We will host another in March 2025 and an ESOL training later in the spring 2025.
To find out more about these trainings and other opportunities throughout the year, sign up for an upcoming volunteer information session by pressing I Want to Help! Sessions will be held on 12/27 at 12, 1/2 at 6, 1/3 at noon, 1/8 at 6, 1/9 at 12, 1/13 at 6.
You may also text, email, or call me for general information about our program.
I look forward to hearing from you. We have a long list of adults waiting to be tutored, so every tutor counts.
Sincerely,
Eleanor Stafford
