The South Bay Literacy Council, a nonprofit organization providing free English tutoring to adults, is seeking a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or speech therapist to volunteer a few hours to train our team of volunteer ESL tutors. Most of our adult students are English language learners from Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Central American, or Brazilian backgrounds, and many struggle with English pronunciation.
We are looking for a professional who can:
Present a basic-level workshop or training session (1-2 hours) to a small group of volunteers
Share practical, easy-to-apply techniques and tips for improving pronunciation
Help tutors better support students with common pronunciation challenges in English
This is a one-time or occasional opportunity with great impact-empowering our dedicated volunteers to be more effective and helping adult learners communicate with confidence.
We’re a 100% volunteer-run organization passionate about literacy and inclusion. If you're a speech professional who loves teaching and giving back, we would love to hear from you!

Mission Statement
Because we believe literacy is life-changing and empowering, we volunteer to teach adults to read, write, and speak English for free.
Description
The South Bay Literacy Council (SBLC) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to teaching adults over 18 to read, write and speak English.
For more than 40 years, SBLC has provided group and individual tutoring in Torrance, Hawthorne, Gardena, Wilmington and other South Bay-Los Angeles communities. Since COVID-19 restrictions, we have been tutoring online.
Our training workshops equip volunteers to teach adults how to read, write, and speak English.
Headquartered in Torrance, the organization is an affiliate of ProLiteracy America. We are staffed and operated entirely by volunteers. The council relies solely on private sector donations and receives no government funding.
There is an urgent, ongoing need for more trained volunteers for tutoring and for management support. Be part of the solution and make a real difference in someone's life.
