What volunteer opportunity is best suited for me?
Become a Tutor
With around thirty new students coming to Literacy Kansas City each month, the opportunity to become a volunteer tutor is one of our biggest and most rewarding programs. If you like to read - and like people - you will be a great tutor! Our 18-hour training program is designed for anyone and a teaching background is not necessary. For FAQ's and more information on becoming a tutor, visit our Tutor page. For information on our upcoming Volunteer Orientations, view our calendar.
Volunteer in Other Ways
We have a wide range of opportunities for those who could offer office support, teach classes, volunteer at special events, set up trainings and much, much more! Click here for a full list of our current openings.
Become a Donor
Literacy Kansas City depends on your generosity to exist. Whether you're a corporate sponsor, an individual donor or a volunteer, your contribution enhances lives and community in a very personal way. Visit our Ways to Give page to learn more about giving the gift of literacy.
