Literacy Tutors work one-on-one with a student. You will give them an inital literacy test and from results, you work to help improve their skills and opinions on learning and reading. You are more than just a tutor, you become a mentor! We can work around your schedule and as well as what age/skill level of student you feel most comfortable with. You can read a book with them, play a literacy game, help them develop stronger literacy skills, and even paint after your lesson!
It is at least 1 hour a week from September to December!More opportunities with HAB DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION- Wild Words Literacy Program
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Mission Statement
At Wild Words, we aim to develop a love of reading in Public and Section-8 housing. Through one-on-one tutoring sessions, community events, and workshops with local artists, Wild Words creates a safe space for children to develop the academic, interpersonal, and creative skills they need to thrive.
Description
Wild Words is a new literacy program through the Housing Authority of Billings, Montana! Research shows that children in public housing know 30 million less words than their wealthier counterparts by the age of 5! Our literacy program pairs each student with a literacy tutor. Tutors and students meet each week at the center and read books and play literacy games! We have community events where volunteers come in and teach students their favorite hobbies. Lastly, we have free time each week! Students come in and read books, paint, and play games with volunteers! We work with amazing students, ages 4-12.
