Redlands Adult Literacy Program
Welcome to the Redlands Adult Literacy Program, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, in association with A. K. Smiley Library! Working with community volunteers, our mission is to provide professional one-on-one tutoring in reading and writing to adults, 18 years and older, seeking help in our community.
Tutoring services are provided at no cost to adults, 18 years and older, requesting assistance in improving reading and writing skills. Lessons are individualized, confidential, and goal-oriented.
Tutors are volunteers from our community and must be at least 18 years old. No previous teaching experience is required. Tutor qualifications are: the ability to speak, read, and write English; compassion and sensitivity to the needs of adult learners; and the willingness to be trained to assist the learner in meeting the learner’s goals.
Learners must be at least 18 years old and out of the traditional high school environment. A learner must be able to speak to and understand English-speaking staff and tutors and are asked to make a six-month commitment to the program. Learners meet with their tutor once or twice a week for 1½ to 2 hours.
FUNDING: The Friends of the Library, a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, working in association with A. K. Smiley Library, is committed to the life-changing benefits of literacy.
