Anyone interested in becoming a literacy volunteer to teach reading, math or English as a Second Language at McHenry County College or in the Harvard and Marengo areas, is welcome to join the next volunteer orientation from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 3 in room A342 or from 9-10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 5 in room A350 at MCC.
A literacy volunteer tutor does not have to speak a second language to teach in the adult education literacy program. Volunteer applicants attend 12 hours of training and complete 10 hours of classroom practicum to learn skills needed to work with literacy students. Flexible work schedules are provided to meet people’s busy schedules, including those who are retired or working full time.
Call Marie Day at (815) 455-8542 for more information or to reserve a seat at the orientation. This project was made possible in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a Division of the Office of Secretary of State, using state funds designated for literacy.
