Become a Volunteer Tutor
Enroll in a tutor training workshop to learn to teach adults to read or to speak English. New adult learners come in every week asking for help, and we are now reaching out to parents of young children in schools who need literacy services – the need for more tutors is great. Retired teachers are especially welcome for this initiative. View our current schedule of Tutor Training Workshops here.
