    Description

    Literacy Tutors Change Lives - Help adults achieve their goals

    Join our dedicated team of literacy volunteers and help adults achieve their learning goals.

    Literacy for All of Monterey Park (LAMP) at the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library provides free one-to-one tutoring for adults to improve reading and writing skills, strengthen job skills, achieve their high school diploma, and more.

    Volunteer tutors work individually with adult learners to achieve goals that they've set for themselves. All volunteers receive materials and training, continued support from the adult literacy coordinator, attend quarterly online Tutor Meetups, and meet 1-2 times per week with their learner either online or in person at the Library. A teaching credential is not required.

    This program is funded by the California Library Literacy Services Grant (CLLS) and the Workforce and Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA).
