Two hours a week can change a life! Become a literacy tutor at Monrovia Public Library.

Save to Favorites

Can you see yourself helping an adult learn to read a medicine label, fill out a job application, write a letter, or study for the driver’s license exam?

If so, become a volunteer tutor and help an adult improve their basic reading and writing skills and achieve their goals. No previous experience is necessary. After successfully completing training, volunteers are paired with an adult learner. The results are positively life-changing for an adult who has struggled, and you’ll likely be amazed at what you learn along the way!

Tutor an adult to read and write at the Monrovia Public Library. Volunteers receive free required literacy training and support. All materials are provided. You must be 18 or older, and commit to one year.

This volunteer opportunity involves:

• Meeting with your learner twice a week for 1-2 hours each session
• Preparing materials for your learner
• Being creative and patient in assisting your learner
• Tracking progress through weekly online reports
• Committing to tutor training workshops (both in-person and online)

If you choose this option, please provide an email address so the literacy coordinator may contact you.
