Invest 1-2 hours a week to meet one-to-one with an adult who needs improved literacy skills. Meet at DMACC Urban Campus (or another DMACC Campus) or at a nearby library.
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 Literacy Coach orientation.
