Make 2021 the year you help an adult in need from the safety of your home! Volunteer as a virtual literacy tutor and change someone's life for the better!
Oakland Literacy Council in suburban Detroit is looking for compassionate volunteers to tutor adults for two hours a week. Each volunteer works individually with a student at a time convenient for both of them. Tutors and students meet online using a videoconferencing platform like Zoom or Skype.
Our adult learners are immigrants who want to learn the English language as well as U.S.-born adults who want to become stronger readers. Because of the help provided by our tutors, our learners achieve such goals as better employment and citizenship. They can read their bills, notes from their children's school, memos from their employers, and so much more.
No previous tutoring experience is required. Six hours of training and curriculum is provided. Upcoming training sessions are (choose one):
43700 Woodward Ave, Suite 20, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302, US
To deliver quality, individualized basic reading and English language instruction to adults so they may become independent learners, develop self-confidence and meet their literacy goals.
The Oakland Literacy Council is a not-for-profit organization whose main purpose is to provide free tutoring to adults who read below the 9th grade level. The services are available to individuals who reside, work or attend school in Oakland County. The services are for basic English or English as a Second Language. The Council relies on volunteer tutors to meet one-on-one with students for two hours a week.
We'll work with your schedule.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
