Description:
Teach an adult to read! Make a difference!
Tutors work in the Los Angeles Public Library Adult Literacy
Program to empower another adult by teaching basic reading,
writing and functional literacy skills. Volunteers receive 7
hours of instruction in tutoring techniques and at the
conclusion of the training are certified as Laubach Literacy
tutors. Tutors and students meet twice a week for 1 to 1-1/2
hours per meeting at a time and location convenient for both
tutor and student. The Library requires a minimum commitment
of six months. To learn more about becoming a volunteer
tutor, contact the literacy coordinator at one of the
Library Literacy Centers that is closest to you!
We look forward to hearing from you and having you become an
important part of this wonderful program!
Adult Literacy Services are generously supported by the
Caroline Singleton Adult Literacy Endowment through the
Library Foundation of Los Angeles.
