Volunteer to Tutor Children and Adults -basic reading, writing, & math
Details
Description
Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization! We provide free tutoring for children and adults in Horry County, SC who struggle with basic reading, writing, and/or math.
Our volunteers tutor 1 hour, twice each week for children and 2 hours/once a week for adults. We provide the materials and training for you to provide the most effective help for the student you are assigned. Tutors teach one-to-one and in their local library.
Each student has a special program that meets their needs. Tutor volunteers consistently report that the materials are easy to use and you don't have to be a teacher! However, if you are a former educator, please help us out!
We work with the schools and our Executive Director attends parent-school meetings (IEP, 504 Plans, and Assessment Planning meetings) as well.
We have a long waitlist of students wanting to be tutored. We hope you join our team!

Express Your Interest in This Opportunity
Once you have submitted your request to volunteer at Palmetto Literacy Council, a member of our staff will call or email to set up a time so that we can meet and determine which volunteer opportunity fits best for you. After you fill out our volunteer applications, we will run a background check. Once the background check has been completed, you will attend a Volunteer Orientation Training conducted by Dr. Dodi Hodges, our Founder and Executive Director. If you are volunteering to become a tutor, you will be assigned a student who you will meet at a meeting between you, the student, parent and PLC staff.
