Become a volunteer tutor. We always have a waiting list of prospective students who need tutors. Youll derive satisfaction from seeing your student improve his or her skills and achieve a better life.

Find out more at the next Volunteer Orientation. You can register online at Register for Orientation. You may also want to review our Tutor Eligibility & Certification Requirements to make sure that tutoring is right for you.

See our Tutor Eligibility & Certification Requirements.

See our Volunteer Orientation and Tutor Training schedule.

There is a $35 Workshop Registration Fee due before the first day of training. This reserves your place in the next workshop and pays for your tutor training materials. (Registration fee may be waived in special circumstances, upon request.)

Tutors commit to tutoring for one year, with the expectation that they will meet with their students for two 90-minute sessions per week. Tutors can expect to devote an additional 30-60 minutes per week for lesson preparation and some travel to tutoring sessions. In some instances, it may be possible for two volunteer tutors to divide the time commitment by working with one student as "Team Tutors."

We have many other important volunteer opportunities, such as performing reading skills assessments, providing administrative support, helping maintain our library, putting on special events, serving on the Board of Directors or a committee, and recruing other volunteers. See Volunteer Opportunities for the complete list.

You can still help by making a financial contribution. See Make a Donation.
