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.
