Program Description
Adult Literacy Volunteer tutors support our 成人教育 program by serving as tutors providing one-on-one or group instruction in reading, writing and speaking the English language. The learners are enrolled in English as a Second Language (ESL) and GED classes.
Volunteers teach on a day and time that is convenient for them. Morning and evening assignments are available, Monday through Friday. Flexible scheduling allows both working and retired people the opportunity to share their time and talent.
Literacy volunteers receive specialized training in helping adults learn how to read and have access to resource materials, as well as support and advice, as they develop their skills as a literacy tutor.
