  • 6 people are interested

LVA-GNH welcomes the participation of volunteers at all levels of the organization. Individuals wanting to become tutors must successfully complete the tutor training workshop. Tutors must have a high school diploma, and be able to read, write and speak English well enough to communicate clearly. Knowledge of a foreign language is not necessary. Our program affords tutors a challenging and rewarding opportunity to help adult students meet personal goals through the teaching of basic literacy and English speaking skills.

Our goal is to increase the English language skills of these individuals so that they can participate more fully in the social, economic, and political life of the community.
