Greet all who come to Aquinas Literacy Center! Our Front Desk Volunteers helps Aquinas Literacy Center embody our mission of hospitality by welcoming everyone who walks through our doors.

As a volunteer, you must be punctual, friendly, and someone who makes others feel welcome. You must be comfortable interacting with immigrants and patient with individuals who speak limited English. You should also be comfortable being interrupted often.

You will also be asked to assist with administrative tasks, such as filing, making copies, and entering data.

Hours of operation are Monday through Thursdays, 9am-8pm. Volunteers are needed the most Tuesday evenings 6-8pm.

For 20 years, Aquinas Literacy Center has been empowering adults by providing English as a Second Language instruction through individualized tutoring. We do so in an environment that respects and reverences individuals. We enable learners to transform their lives by acquiring skills to become successful parents, productive workers and responsible citizens. ALC is sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters.
