Volunteer Tutors

We are recruiting compassionate and enthusiastic volunteers to tutor adults in English speaking, reading, and writing. 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 our community, 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 watching one of our information sessions here. Please reach out to us at volunteers@literacyforall.org with any questions. 

Read what tutors say about their experiences in the program.
