Help an adult become more independent and self-confident by teaching them how to read.
The Washington Irving and Memorial Branch libraries seek volunteer tutors for their one-on-one adult literacy program. These branches are located in the Arlington Heights and Mid-City/ Wilshire neighborhoods, respectively, and serve culturally diverse communities consisting of both native-born and foreign-born patrons.
No prior experience is necessary- just a willingness to help! All tutors and students are interviewed and assessed to create a positive match. Tutors are provided free training and teaching materials and are asked to meet with their student for a minimum of 50 hours in the course of 6-9 months.

Mission Statement
The Los Angeles Public Library provides free and easy access to information, ideas, books and technology that enrich, educate and empower every individual in our city's diverse communities.
Description
The Los Angeles Public Library is largest public research institution west of the Mississippi.
With more than 70 branch libraries and Central Library subject departments serving millions of Angelenos on a yearly basis, our programs are supported by thousands of volunteers in a variety of capacities. Whether providing one on one literacy tutoring, cutting out craft supplies for story time activities, helping serve summer lunch at the library, or serving as a Friend of the Library, all volunteers play a role in the work of LAPL.
If you would like to volunteer, but don't see a listing that matches your interests, please contact your local branch or the Volunteer Engagement Office. Opportunities and needs vary by location and fluctuate throughout the year.
Please note that the minimum age for volunteers is 14 (with the exception of 11-13-year-olds joining Teen Councils), minimum time commitments are required for most opportunities, adult volunteers working with children will be fingerprinted, and LAPL does not accept court-mandated community service.
