Save to Favorites

Can you see yourself teaming up with an adult to work on their basic reading, writing or conversation skills? Are you interested in meeting new people and making a positive contribution to our community? If so, become a literacy volunteer and help adults become more confident and better able to navigate everyday situations. Volunteers have the option of meeting one-to-one or with small groups. An effective volunteer is respectful, patient and encouraging.

Qualifications:

• Flexible, friendly, patient, optimistic and reliable
• Comfortable reading, writing, and speaking English.
• No previous experience necessary.

After successfully completing training, volunteers are teamed with adults and typically meet once or twice a week for one to two hours each meeting.
