Tutors Needed for Adult Learners in Your Community

Over 80,000 adults aged 25 in Westchester County do not have a high school degree. Those that are looking to complete the requirements for their diploma need your help.

TASC Connect! (formerly GED Connect!) a tutoring program operating at libraries around Westchester County - is looking for volunteers. We provide the training and support. You provide the time and encouragement to help adult learners meet their goals.

TASC Connect! volunteers explain the exam, orient students to self-study tools, and provide one-to-one tutoring in basic skills as well as specific preparation for the high school equivalency exam.

Program services are offered at public libraries in Greenburgh, Mount Kisco, New Rochelle, Port Chester - Rye Brook, White Plains, and Yonkers.

Bi-lingual tutors are especially needed in several locations. If you can dedicate 2-3 hours per week, at least 2 times a month please contact us.
