Volunteer
Literacy Tutors Needed
City of Orange: 2.07.2017
Did
you know the library has a new adult literacy program? We are recruiting
volunteers to be tutors, and if you are reading this, you just might be one of
them.
Last
year, library literacy programs in Southern California helped thousands of
adults improve reading and writing skills.
In
2016, we received funds from the California State Library, North Orange Rotary
Club, City of Orange Public Library Foundation, Friends of the Orange Public
Library, and the Community Foundation of Orange, to establish an adult literacy program in the
City of Orange.
Our
program is available to English-speaking adults. Those who cannot speak and understand English
are referred to local programs to learn conversation first, then they may
enroll in our reading and writing program.
A
person seeking help with reading is given an assessment and then matched with a
volunteer tutor. Materials are provided
for each tutor-student pair.
Additional
books, worksheets, and computer-aided instruction are provided through the
Literacy Office.
