Volunteer Opportunities
Positions available for Volunteer Reading Tutors.

• Tutors report to Site Coordinator or Program Director.
• The purpose of the positions is to tutor a Basic Literacy adult learner to help him/her acquire basic literacy skills and to apply those skills in meeting self-identified reading goals.
• Training is required and includes: Orientation and a pre-service basic literacy workshop (15 hours). Participation in periodic in-service training sessions encouraged.
• Tutors will work one-to-one, tutoring at a mutually convenient time. This will occur in a work site, program site, or other neutral public place in the community that is easily accessible to learner. Tutor will not provide transportation to learner or meet at learners/tutors place of residence.
