Can you see yourself helping an adult learn to read so they can help their child with homework, fill out a job application, study for the driver’s license exam, write a letter, or become more confident in talking to the doctor or their child’s teacher? If so, become a volunteer tutor and help an adult improve their basic reading and writing skills and achieve their goals. No previous experience is necessary. After successfully completing training, volunteers are paired with an adult learner. Pairs typically meet once or twice weekly for one to two hours each meeting. The results are positively life-changing for an adult who has struggled, and you’ll likely be amazed at what you learn along the way!

The next three-part Tutor Training will take place on the following dates from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the Livermore Public Library’s Civic Center branch, 1188 South Livermore Ave., Livermore (please note - participants attend all three sessions):

Monday, July 22, 2024
Wednesday, July 24, 2024
Monday, July 29, 2024

For more information or to sign up for Tutor Training, please call (925) 373-5507 or email literacy@livermoreca.gov.
