Become a student!
Congratulations on taking the first step.
At Literacy Volunteers, we provide students with free and confidential help with reading, writing or English
needs. Every year, we work with hundreds of adults to achieve their goals. If you are here because you'd
like to become a student or know someone who is interested, you are taking the first step towards
improving life skills, and we're glad that we can help!
Who our students are
Our students are men and women, young and old. Some were born right here in Rhode Island or other
parts of the United States, while others are from countries around the globe. Our students are single or
married; they might be parents or grandparents. Some have jobs and some are looking for jobs. Others
are stay-at-home mothers or fathers, or might be retired. Some of our students went to school for many
years, while others did not have this opportunity.
Our students come from all walks of life. Whatever one's background, everyone fits in at Literacy
Volunteers! We have programs to meet all kinds of needs.
How it works
As a new student at Literacy Volunteers, everyone receives a free assessment of one's reading, writing
and English language skills. Then, depending on when one has free time to see a tutor, the new student
will have a weekly meeting with one's assigned tutor, usually at a local library, where lessons will take
place. We can find a tutor for a student whether one is available during the day, or in the evening.
While most of our students live in East Providence, Bristol, Warren, or Barrington, some students come
from other towns. If you are willing to meet a tutor in the libraries of one of these towns, we will be happy
to serve you. Fill out the Contact Us Form to get started today, or call us at 401-247-2177!
