Volunteer Opportunity description

Do you speak English? You can:

  • Volunteer 2 hours each week
  • Share Conversation and American culture
  • Make a difference in an adult's life

Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester is seeking volunteer tutors. Volunteer tutors work one-on-one to help an adult gain language proficiency. Only through attaining English language literacy in spoken and written word can adult learners become independent contributing members of our society. You could make a difference in an adult's life.

How to apply

Volunteers attend a free 18 hour training, with us, and are matched with an adult. Once matched, the tutor and student meet weekly for 2 hours. Continued training and support is provided in house. Our next initial training dates (6 sessions): October 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, and 23rd from 3 pm-6 pm. Please contact us (litvolworc@gmail.com) or visit our website for more information or to register for the training.
