Literacy Volunteers Orientation

Helping someone improve their reading and writing skills, or learn to speak English can be a very rewarding experience. Experience the joy and fulfillment of helping someone complete a job application for the first time, be able to help their child with homework, or become a US citizen.


We train volunteers to work with adult learners to improve their literacy skills. You do not need to speak another language or have a teaching background.  A high school diploma or equivalency is required along with the ability to speak English clearly.  More importantly, you just need a willingness to help someone improve his/her life.


Come learn more about our program and volunteer opportunities.
