    Description

    If you want to help an adult communicate in English and adapt to life in our community, you will want to attend one of Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley’s free tutor training workshop. The next one will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, July 14, 16, 21, & 23 at the St. Charles Public Library.

    The number of adults who are seeking English language instruction has exploded. More than 30 adults are waiting to learn.

    Volunteers do not need to know a second language or have teaching experience to be effective. The workshop provides material and instruction so anyone can help.

    Each volunteer will be matched with one adult learner. Volunteer tutors and their learners meet for one hour each week at a time and public location that is convenient, usually public libraries.

    To register for the workshop, visit www.lvfv.org
