Those interested in becoming a literacy volunteer tutor to teach reading, math or English as a Second Language to adult students at McHenry County College (MCC) or at local libraries are welcome to attend one of the next volunteer orientation sessions from 9-11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28 at MCC in Room A370 or from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 2 at MCC in Room A368. The college is located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.
A literacy volunteer tutor does not have to speak a second language to teach in the adult education literacy program. Volunteer tutors will receive free basic training that provides the information and 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 an orientation session to find out more about this rewarding opportunity. 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.
