    Description

    Reading & Writing Tutor for Adults

    Project Read is the adult literacy program of the San Francisco Public Library. Since 1983, volunteer tutors have been trained to work one-to-one with English-speaking adults seeking to improve their basic reading and writing skills.

    Volunteers need to complete a tutor training and make a year-long commitment to tutoring. Our training equips tutors with a variety of teaching techniques and strategies designed to help adult learners improve their reading and writing skills. After training, we ask that our tutors meet with an adult learner for a 1-2 hour session once a week. Instructional materials and staff support are provided.

    If you are interested in volunteering with us, please fill out the volunteer interest form here: on.sfpl.org/vol-pr
