Workforce Pathway Coaches provide short-term individualized tutoring to adults enrolled in ESOL or Adult Basic Education classes who are looking to enter the workforce or find a better job. They work one-on-one with students seeking employment to improve basic workforce preparation skills (resume-building, interviewing skills, or filling out job applications) and help students learn how to navigate the job search process in the United States.
Additionally, volunteers have the option to participate in quarterly job-skills workshops (for example, as workshop facilitators, mock interviewers, or in general support roles). This works well for those who prefer a shorter commitment.
Bilingual skills and/or experience working with adult immigrants, refugees, or English language learners is strongly desired but not required. The top 5 languages represented among our students are Amharic, Tigrinya, Spanish, Mandarin, and Somali, although combined our students speak over 40 languages. We are an equal opportunity employer working towards a culturally diverse workplace. People of color and bilingual/multilingual individuals are encouraged to apply.

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.
