The Volunteer for Literacy program can offer you a uniquely rewarding experience as a volunteer tutor for youth and adult learners. We have partner sites throughout Greater Los Angeles who need volunteers. Spend 2 hours a week as a tutor and change your life. No experience is necessary. We will train you to make a significant impact on the lives of adults and their families. Of course, your skills in basic reading, writing, math, job readiness, and/or computers will only make you more effective. You can choose to work one-on-one or with a small group. As a volunteer you will receive:
A professional 3-hour training to help you obtain new learning tools and activities to tutor with confidence
The support of a program staff who will provide on-going assistance, resources and encouragement throughout you volunteer experience
Follow up trainings to grow your skills as a tutor, and discussion groups to network and share best practices with other volunteers in the program
Acknowledgement of your time and commitment to the program at our annual volunteer recognition event
