Volunteer Activities: The library is looking for volunteers to tutor adult learners in reading and writing to meet self-identified goals such as passing the ABE test or attaining a GED. The mentor will meet with the learner 1 or 2 times each week for 1 - 112 hours each time to teach basic reading and writing skills. Prepare materials to go over with the learner. These materials can be literacy materials
and materials that are relevant to the learner’s goal.
As a volunteer you will be making a difference in improving literacy with the functional illiterate population. The volunteer will gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the different educational values and lifestyles from the incarcerated population.
