Make a Difference in a Family's life and teach Literacy to an adult!

Save to Favorites

We are looking for volunteers who wish to share their love of literacy in their local

community. If you have a passion to help others create a better quality of life, we

want to work with you. Your commitment could help a mom understand her child’s

teacher, or help a father find better work. Don't have experience being a tutor? No

problem! Literacy Connections provides free training! Once you have completed our 12

hour training, you will be matched with an adult student. Tutors have the option to

provide one on one tutoring or, instruct a small class. Based on your preference, you

can choose to work with English speakers who wish to enhance their reading and

writing abilities, or non-English speakers who want to learn how to read and write in

English. Materials and curriculum are provided, if needed. Volunteer tutoring is

flexible as you can work it around your schedule and that of your student(s). To sign

up, or if you have any questions, please feel free to call Ms. Mariksa Nieves at 845-

452-8670.
