Changing Lives, One Word at a Time

Become a Literacy Volunteer

We are recruiting compassionate and enthusiastic volunteers to tutor adults in English speaking, reading, writing, and basic education. Many of our students also need support preparing for their U.S. Citizenship interviews.

If you would like to provide one-to-one instruction to adults in the Greater Charlottesville community, many of whom are immigrants or refugees, we invite you to attend a New Tutor Training. No teaching experience is required, only a desire to help learners reach their educational goals. You can learn more about our program by signing up for one of our volunteer information sessions, watching one of our information sessions here, or reading these informational Slides here. Learn more about how our volunteer tutors change the lives of their students. Please reach out to us at volunteers@literacyforall.org with any questions.
