Want to Make a REAL Difference in Someone's Life? Teach Someone English!
Literacy Mid-South has adults on our waiting list who are willing and ready to learn but need a special person in their life to help them. They want better lives. They want their driver's license. They want to read to their children. They want to understand their world better, and they just need a chance.
YOU can help. There is no greater gift to give than helping a person succeed. Facilitate learning in the life of an adult who is learning English as a foreign language through Literacy Mid-South's English For You Program. Volunteers are able to serve as facilitators to groups of adults or provide individual goal-centered tutoring to an adult learner. Volunteers attend a one-day training that provides the tools for moving adults forward.
Volunteers commit to meeting 2 hours, once a week for six months. Volunteer opportunities are available during the day or at night. Must be 18 years or older to participate.

Mission Statement
Our vision is 100% literacy in the Mid-South. Literacy Mid-South is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a community actively engaged in continuous learning. Somewhere between 20% to 30% of adults in the Memphis metro area are functionally illiterate. That means more than just unemployment -- their minds are unused and their dreams are unrealized.
