Literacy Source is seeking volunteers to serve as Adult ESL Tutors at the downtown Seattle Central Library to be a part of a cohort of tutors serving students in a mid-level ESL class. As part of the cohort model, all of the ESL students will be enrolled in a common ESL class offered on-site at the downtown Seattle Central Library. A tutor coordinator will offer activities to review class content and supplement the work being done in the class.
We need a commitment of 2 hours/week: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-2:00 pm. Training and ongoing support will be provided. No prior experience required.

Mission Statement
Literacy Source partners with adults working to gain skills and education to create new opportunities for themselves, their families, and the community. We envision an inclusive and equitable society providing education and opportunities for all adults. We believe that all adults can improve their basic skills and that community volunteers, trained and supported by professional staff, can work with students to make this happen. We welcome the challenge of developing the habit of independent lifelong learning. The Literacy Source story unfolds each day at our center - and in homes, community centers, and workplaces around Seattle and the Puget Sound region - as adult learners work towards literacy, English language skills, citizenship, better jobs, and better lives. Our students range in age from 19 to 86, and speak 41 languages. 97% of our students are low-income and 96% are immigrants or refugees.
Description
Literacy Source is a safe and community-centered environment, working to become a fully inclusive, multicultural, anti-racist organization. Commitment from our volunteers to this work is essential and we strongly encourage applications from people of color, immigrants, refugees, women, people with disabilities, members of the LBGTQ community and other underrepresented and historically marginalized groups.
