Then why not become a volunteer tutor?

Every day, tutors around Portland assist adults in improving their literacy skills or English proficiency, some of whom are preparing for the GED exams. It is often this special relationship with the volunteer tutor that gives adult learners the confidence to succeed, gain self-sufficiency, and to pass the gift of literacy on to their children.

The following nonprofit agencies are seeking volunteer tutors to work with adult students. Tutors can chose to work one-on-one, with a small group, or as a program assistant. If you want to know more about becoming a volunteer tutor please contact them for more information.
