Are you looking for an exciting way to get involved in your community?
According to ProLiteracy, more than 30 million adults in the United States are unable to do math, read or write above a third grade level. This means these adults may struggle to communicate with their children's school, fill out job applications, read the newspaper or participate in local community events. Literacy Green Bay serves over 500 students who come to us for a variety of reasons, all of them looking to improve their quality of life through the power of Literacy. If you are passionate, and willing, Literacy Green Bay would like to invite you to sign-up for our Adult Tutor Training workshop. There is no previous experience required, and we provide four sessions of hands-on training courtesy of our own volunteers.
To learn more about this volunteering opportunity, please RSVP to our Volunteer Opportunities Informational Session on Monday, September 23rd at 9am or 6pm by completing this survey here:

Literacy Green Bay offers English Language classes, Family Literacy Classes, and One-on-One Adult Tutoring. We offer ELL Classes in the mornings and evenings four days a week. The Children First Family Literacy program is a GED program in collaboration with NWTC and the Howe Community Resource Center, which provides GED instruction.
