Volunteer with Literacy Network as a tutor! Literacy Network is a non-profit on the south side of Madison that provides free classes and tutoring for immigrants, refugees, and adult students.
Tutors are paired with a student, and they work together 1:1 weekly at a set time and place. Depending on the program, tutors help students learn English (ESL), study for their GED/HSED, learn basic skills in math and computers, or prepare for their US Citizenship interview.
We provide:
- Training for new tutors
- Regular support from staff
- Lesson planning resources and materials
- Ongoing opportunities for training and growth
Our volunteers:
- Are 18+ years old
- Are reliable, professional, patient, and kind

Our next round of new tutor training is happening the week of May 20th, 2024. Our Summer semester runs from May 28th- August 17th.
