Train to be a Literacy Volunteer

Literacy Volunteers of Wayne County, responding to interest from the community, will be offering a special week-day training of volunteer tutors. Tutor Training classes will be March 20, 22 and 27.

Sessions last from 9 to 3 with a lunch break and will be held at the First Presbyterian Church at 11 Queen Street in Lyons.

Tutoring offers interested people an opportunity to work with motivated individuals who are seeking to improve their lives.

Tutors have a chance to work one-on-one or in small groups assisting adults with basic literacy, GED, English-as-a-Second Language (ESL), or mathematics. Potential tutors must be 18 years of age, have a high school or GED diploma, and be willing to attend the complete 18 hours of training. Once certified, a tutor should be willing to spend at least two hours per week working with an adult and keep some basic records. No knowledge of a foreign language is required for ESL tutoring and you do not need any teaching background. A $15 donation is asked to help defray the cost of the Tutor Manual.

Call the Literacy Volunteers of Wayne County at 946.5333.
