Literacy Volunteers of East Bay
an Affiliate of ProLiteracy America

How can you help?

Volunteer as a tutor. Work directly with students
at public libraries. Teach one student or a small
group once a week or more (schedule is very
flexible). Training will give you the skills you need
to teach a student to read or speak English. You
need not have a college degree, only a diploma or
GED. No previous teaching experience is
required. Click here for more information about
tutoring.

Volunteer as a trainer. Conduct tutor training
sessions four times a year. You will receive all the
training you need to enable classes of tutors to
help more students in our area.

Volunteer in the office, do public outreach, or
offer your unique skills to help our cause. Many
of our neighbors help us with routine office tasks,
putting up posters, securing donations for
fundraising events, or lend their talents at graphic
design or seeking out grants.
