Can you imagine life without literacy? How would you...

  • Get a job, or train for a better job?
  • Talk with doctors, neighbors, and businesses?
  • Discuss your child's progress at school?
  • Perform simple tasks such as phone calls, emails, shopping, banking, getting insurance?
You can make a difference by volunteering 1.5 hours per week to help adults learn to read, write, or speak English. The Community Literacy Council provides comprehensive tutor training for volunteers, usually in January, May, and September. Most of our adult students are learning English as a second language.
Our next training sessions will take place virtually via Zoom on the following dates:
  • Thursday, May 16, 2023, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
AND
  • Saturday, May 18, 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
