Opportunities From: United Way of Central Iowa

Volunteer: Be part of the Adult Literacy Center's 50 years of teaching adults to read!

The Adult Literacy Center is celebrating 50 years of service to the community! Join 1000s of volunteers who, over the years, have invested 1-2 hours a week to meet one-to-one with an adult who needs to learn to read, write, and speak better. Become a part of the transformative learning experience as adults gain skills, confidence, and competence.

Adults enroll in the DMACC Adult Literacy Center to become more independent in the world of words, to get a better job, earn a high school diploma, and speak and understand English better. Volunteers meet with their assigned student at the DMACC Urban Campus or at an area library. 

No prior teaching experience is necessary. Come with a desire to learn and make a direct and personal investment in an adult learner's life (and in their family's life). You will receive information and materials to assist with tutoring your adult learner.

Attend an upcoming  1 1/2 hour Literacy Coach orientation. (March 18-5:30; March 26-10:30; or April 14-10:30) Choose the date that is best for you.
