A desire to help adult students achieve their educational goals and an interest in the subject matter is always a plus!

If you have experience teaching basic reading and or basic math skills, please reach out and we can talk more!

We are seeking someone who can come to our Opportunity Center on the Southside from 1:00-3:30PM on Mondays and Wednesdays. To help one of these students, you'd first meet with me briefly, either in person or on Zoom, to go over details of our program and what you would do, fill out a volunteer application, complete a free and quick PA criminal background check, and then we'd help you to learn about what students need to know for this exam. Once you are all prepped, you would be introduced to the student and ready to start working with them. Support is always available from me, the Volunteer Coordinator, and from our adult education instructors. Six-month commitment minimum please. Our volunteers do take time off here and there for trips they take, vacation, holidays, etc, but overall, 5 hours per week on average is required. Thank you for considering this opportunity!
