Literacy Volunteers Tutors assist student in reaching their person literacy goals. Individual tutoring can be done either in person or remote. A student and tutor are paired and then can chose how and where to meet. Two hours of tutoring a week per student is required. A year commitment is required.

We have an in person lab at our office. Currently the lab is open once a week, Thursday mornings from 10-11:30AM. Students who have been assessed may come to the lab for help with their individual goals. The lab is staffed by volunteer tutors. This is a good opportunity for tutors who may not be able to take on a one on one student due time commitments or other reasons as the lab

In Order to Become a Tutor, a Candidate Must Be 18 years of age or older and have at least a high school diploma or GED/TASC.
