If you can imagine a world where all parents can read to their children, speak for themselves at doctor's appointments, and understand subway signs, then we need you.
Speaking Partners can serve as an in-class conversation facilitators or one-on-one conversation partners. We strengthen families through a two-generation approach to education. With our free classes, low-income parents in New York City develop the literacy and language skills they need to succeed in today's world. Our research-based curriculum also incorporates child development and parenting support to help parents boost their children's early reading, school readiness, and social-emotional growth. Literacy Partners is looking for compassionate Volunteers to help us strengthen and expand our online adult education programs.
