Did you know that nearly 1 million adults in Los Angeles face literacy or language barriers? Join us to share your love of reading and: -- Learn new skills! We provide all the training, materials, and support you'll need to be an effective group leader. -- Meet lots of great people from different cultures and places. -- Face challenges and learn how to overcome them. -- Develop (or grow!) a passion for learning and teaching others. -- Create real and meaningful change in your own community. -- Gain great experience that can be applied in multiple job fields. Volunteers are fundamental to the success of library literacy services. Without people like you we can't partner with adults to overcome literacy barriers and close skill gaps to create opportunity for individuals, their families, and the communities of Los Angeles. Won't you join us? You will lead a small, mixed group of native and non-native English-speakers. Topics range from basic reading and writing, American culture and history, to pronunciation and will be selected by you and our staff. No teaching or tutoring background is required. All volunteer classroom teachers receive free training and materials. We ask for 2 to 3 hours a week for a minimum of 2 months.

"No ser capaz de escribir y leer es como estar ciego. Ahora que puedo leer y escribir, me siento libre e independiente." - - Estudiante Dinora Guerra California es el hogar de 565,375 adultos de habla hispana que no pueden leer y escribir en ningún idioma. Aunque el dominio limitado del inglés puede aislar a familias inmigrantes y prevenirlas de integrarse a su comunidad, aquellos que no cuentan con conocimientos de alfabetización nativa están aún más aislados, especialmente los adultos que hablan un idioma indígena como Quiche, Canjobal o Zapoteca y están aprendiendo español como segundo lenguaje. Si usted puede hablar, leer y escribir español puede cambiar una vida ofreciéndose como voluntario. Los voluntarios dan tutoría uno-a-uno de dos a tres horas a la semana y reciben materiales y entrenamiento gratuito. Pedimos un compromiso mínimo de 6 meses.

Did you know over 3.5 million adults in California have not obtained a high school diploma or equivalency certificate? Math is a common barrier. We're here to work with YOU to close this gap and help someone achieve their dreams of being a high school graduate. You don't have to be a rocket scientist or calculus genius, but you will need patience and superior people skills to help adults learn basic and business math skills. Tutors may also assist learners with English language skills such as grammar, conversation, reading, and writing. We provide volunteers with the training they need to effectively coach adults so no teaching or tutoring experience is required. Staff is always available for ongoing support for volunteers to ensure a positive experience for everyone. Tutoring is done as a walk-in service so you'll meet people from all over the world and face different challenges every time you volunteer. The adults who seek service from the library are also typically working to improve their reading, writing, and life skills so they can meet personal, work, and academic goals. As a bonus, the Los Angeles Public Library Singleton Adult Literacy Center is located in the iconic and beautiful Central Library in downtown LA. This opportunity is only available at Central Library at this time.
