Become a Reading Tutor for an Under-Resourced Student
Details
Description
About: Augustine Literacy Project Triangle trains, places, and supports tutors at partner schools to deliver free, one-to-one, science-based literacy instruction to students who need additional support.
Twice weekly, our tutors deliver in-person reading instruction at elementary schools in the Triangle region of North Carolina. Our program aligns with the Science of Reading and uses the evidence-based Orton-Gillingham approach. Through multi-sensory, direct, explicit, structured, and sequential instruction, trained Augustine tutors deliver free, one-on-one instruction while building students’ confidence through consistent, caring relationships.
Your commitment: Reading tutoring twice a week for one hour for the duration of the academic year. You will be paired with one elementary school student with the goal of helping them achieve grade level reading competency.
Our commitment: Training, lesson plans, and a cohort model that offers in-person support during tutoring. We provide the structure so you can show up for a child who could not otherwise afford private tutoring.

How to Volunteer for This Opportunity
Once you fill out the Tutor Application, we will reach out to schedule an info session where we give you an overview and answer any questions you might have. If volunteering with ALP-Triangle feels like a good fit, we'll walk with you through the training, background checks, and get you connected with your student!
