PROJECT LITERACY, THE SAN LEANDRO PUBLIC LIBRARY'S FREE ADULT LITERACY AND ESL PROGRAM, SEEKS NEW VOLUNTEER TUTORS

Over 20% of people in our community have low literacy levels. You can help! After your training, you will be matched with an adult who wants to improve their reading/writing or their English language skills. You will work one-on-one with your learner for two hours a week in person at the library and/or online.

VOLUNTEER QUALIFICATIONS

Teaching experience is not necessary. We are looking for individuals who show empathy, respect, and patience for others in the learning process. We will provide you with training and support! We also need help with outreach, clerical tasks, and other support services.

Project Literacy tutors must:

  • Live in Alameda County
  • Be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or GED
  • Be able to speak, read, and write English well
  • Complete our free tutor orientation and three training workshops
  • Tutor a minimum of 2 hours per week for a period of at least 6 months
  • Spend necessary time on lesson preparation and reporting
  • Pass fingerprinting/Live Scan
NEXT STEPS

Project Literacy holds tutor training opportunities several times a year. Training consists of a self-paced online orientation and three in-person workshops.

The next in-person training is tentatively scheduled for May.

To receive the self-paced orientation and to be added to the mailing list for future trainings, please email projectliteracy@sanleandro.org or call 510-577-3944.

Become a volunteer tutor and give the gift of literacy to an adult in your community!
