Valley News: 1.08.2020 

Approximately 32% of Riverside County residents’ ability to understand print material is considered “at-risk” according to a study by the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies. Literacy skills increase the ability to read with their children, pass a driver’s test and apply for jobs online. Riverside County Library System Literary Services offers programs and services to close the gap and positively impact these daily activities. RCLS addresses the adult literacy gap with free community classes and one-on-one tutoring available to all Riverside County residents. Due to the pandemic, literacy services and programs are now offered online using video conferencing. Chromebooks and tablets are also available for checkout by enrolled adult learners.  READ MORE ➤➤

There are a few ways to become a literacy volunteer:

Adult Literacy: As a volunteer reading/writing tutor, you are the pivotal force in the literacy program's design to enable adult learners to improve their reading, writing, digital and other crucial skills.

English Language Classes: As a volunteer English Language tutor, you are the driving force to providing free and accessible English classes to non-native English speakers that helps learners improve job readiness skills as well as better connect with the community.

Family Literacy Events: As a volunteer for Family Literacy, you are providing adult learners, potential adult learners and their families vital early literacy and parent engagement support and strategies, which is shown to increase a child’s academic and life-long success.

We believe that your decision to become a volunteer tutor will be personally rewarding. Most experienced tutors have told us they believe they have received as much from the program as their adult learners. In this endeavor, Literacy Service staff are always here to support and assist you in any way we can. Please contact us whenever necessary.
