Can you imagine what life would be like for you in our community if you could not read the daily newspaper or mail, couldn't write out a check, couldn't read the menu in the restaurant, or couldn't get a good paying job because you didn't know how to read. This is a reality for some of our residents.
You could help change this situation for an adult in our community. Volunteers with an interest in literacy are being sought to work one-on-one with English-speaking adults needing extra help learning to read or write. Training and mentoring will be provided for the volunteer tutors as they take on the commitment of building a tutoring relationship with another adult who is struggling to learn to read. A Phonics-based, multisensory approach is used.
What a great way to help open the doors to literacy for people so that they have the tools they need to reach their goals in a literate world. Volunteers must be able to spend at least two hours per week tutoring the adult they are matched with.
