If you can spare two hours a week, you can make a difference in the life of another adult!
Oakland Literacy Council in suburban Detroit trains volunteers to serve as tutors in reading, math or English-as-a-Second-Language. Tutors and learners meet at a time and place that is convenient to both of them, and they build a relationship that is meaningful to both. Tutoring happens online or in person at any library in Oakland County.
No teaching background is needed. We provide six hours of training and proven curriculum. Our staff supports every volunteer. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
Because of the help provided by our tutors, our learners achieve such goals as better employment, a high school equivalency degree, citizenship, or involvement in the community. They can better understand their neighbors, help their children with schoolwork, and more. This is a rewarding volunteer opportunity where you see the impact of your work directly in your student’s life!
