Ventura County Library Adult Literacy READ Program is now recruiting Adult volunteer tutors who would like to help incarcerated youth improve their reading and writing skills. No teaching experience is required and the training is free. The next five-week tutor training series will be starting in February.
The READ program trains adult volunteers to provide free one-to-one reading instruction for adults and incarcerated youth in need of basic literacy skills. Instruction in basic literacy includes the development of phonetic reading skills combined with communication skills. Ventura County Library is encouraging residents to take this opportunity to volunteer as a tutor or encourage someone you know to take advantage of the free program.
After completion of the five-week training, tutors will meet with their adult learners at locations throughout the county. Tutoring is scheduled by the availability of the tutors and the learners.
