We are looking for dedicated volunteer reading tutors who are available to build a lasting relationship with a student for the entire school year, meeting with them twice a week either during or after school. Our volunteers believe in all students' innate ability to learn and grow as a reader and understand the role of community-powered literacy in Asheville and Buncombe County.
What does reading tutor training involve?
Over the last three weeks of January, Read to Succeed will host training sessions on Zoom with new volunteer reading tutors, exploring the state of literacy in Asheville City and Buncombe County schools and the Essentials of Foundational Reading Instruction. You will workshop best practices for teaching phonics and phonemic awareness and learn how to use the reading curricula and R2S lesson plan.
How long is reading tutor training?
All new volunteer reading tutors are required to complete a minimum of six hours of training (two hours a day spread across three days). All upcoming trainings will take place on Zoom.
How do I get started?

We are on a mission to help close the race-based opportunity gap through community-powered literacy programming that engages children, families, and community partners.
