Tutors change lives.
Becoming a tutor at The Literacy Center is a rewarding way to give back to your community in a meaningful, lasting way. Each year, more than 120 people tutor over 150 students at The Literacy Center, providing an invaluable amount of hours in support of our students' goals. Tutors often help students with the following subjects:
​

No background or experience is necessary, just a willingness to help and an eagerness to learn. All volunteer tutors receive comprehensive training prior to being matched with a student. Our Volunteer Coordinator will work closely with you to find the best match for your unique skills and ability.
