ORGANIZATION: Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Choose from one-on-one tutoring or small group
This tutor is working with Claire from Haiti on her English speaking, reading and writing skills.

Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley is looking for people who love reading, who want to share the gift of literacy in the English language with an adult learner in Columbia or Greene County. No previous teaching experience is necessary! New volunteers are required to attend a free orientation session, after which they will complete the online training, which can be adapted to fit most schedules.

Our next Orientation Session will be held at the Hudson Area Library, Wednesday, July 23rd from 1-3 pm. At the Orientation session you will learn more about the volunteer opportunities with Literacy Connections’ and about the adult students that we serve.

You can sign up for the Tutor Training by e-mail to colgreene@literacyconnections.org or by calling 518-828-1792 ext 104. Please provide your name, e-mail address, phone number and area where you would like to volunteer when registering.

Literacy Connections’ Columbia and Greene County Office is located within the office of the Hudson Area Library and regular hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays 10 am to 5 pm, Wednesdays 1-8 pm and Fridays from 10 am-3 pm. Literacy Connections North is partially funded by the Dyson Foundation United Way of Columbia & Greene Counties, the generosity of friends of literacy and individual community contributions.
