Looking for volunteers: Adult Literacy and ESL Tutor Volunteer.
Local non profit "Literacy For Life" has a San Luis Obispo countywide need for volunteer tutors.
Work one-on-one with adults with various levels of english proficiency. Volunteer tutors set and work through individualized goals with learners, tailored to their proficiency levels, ranging from foundational skills to preparing for the citizenship test. Training and books will be provided.
Tutors meet in person for 1-4 hours per week to build basic and conversation skills, so the English learners can participate more actively in the community. We have Learning Centers in San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Cambria, Los Osos, Morro Bay, Nipomo, Paso Robles.
Our next tutor training session is on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, 3-6pm at Canyon Creek, 400 Oak Hill Rd, Paso Robles. This session is designed for new volunteers eager to help adults learning English as a second language. Gain the skills and resources needed to make a meaningful impact in your community.
