ProLiteracy America, the U.S. division of ProLiteracy Worldwide, has approximately 1,200 member programs in all 50 states. If you are an adult learner, or want to volunteer, there are programs in your area or state that will welcome you.
Literacy tutoring is one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences you can have. When you help someone learn to read, or to speak and read English, you enable that individual to take advantage of a new world of opportunities. Simply put: Literacy changes lives.
ProLiteracy Worldwide provides volunteer tutors with the professional training and materials they need to teach basic literacy or English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Training takes about 18 hours and tutors typically meet with their students for one and a half to two hours per week. Please remember though, that literacy organizations need all kinds of help, not just tutors. Make a difference....Be a literacy volunteer.
