Adult Literacy Program Volunteer

Flexible Schedule | Alameda, CA 94501

BECOMING A VOLUNTEER If you are a patient, flexible and reliable adult, and if you like to meet new people and help them, you would be a great Alameda Reads volunteer. Alameda Reads has helped local adults improve their reading and writing skills for more than 35 years. Our non-pressured, non-academic environment works! Adult learners often come to Alameda Reads because school was not the right place for them to learn. Learners range from ages 18 to 90 and have a wide range of needs and skills. They often have busy lives and want to be able to use their skills right away at home, in the community and at work. Volunteers are active and engaged listeners. They support the Alameda Reads learning community in a variety of ways depending on program needs and a volunteer’s skills. The health of the program relies on a diverse range of volunteer support including: Tutoring adults Online social media and web support Program promotion in the library and community Small learning group support Special events coordination We ask volunteers to: Complete a 13-hour training workshop Volunteer two hours a week Commit to 6 months of service, although we hope you’ll stay for longer! Volunteers must have an active email address, possess basic computer skills, and have access to the internet via a computer or other digital device. To volunteer please fill out the application on our web page: http://alamedaca.gov/library/alameda-reads We hope to hear from you soon!
