Volunteers for Moraine Valley Community College’s Literacy Program are currently being recruited to tutor adults who read, write, or compute math below the ninth-grade level or who need additional help learning English. The next training session will be Wednesdays, October 7 and 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., on campus, 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills.
Tutors commit to teaching basic reading, math, computer or English skills to an assigned student for two hours a week for one year. Regular meeting days and times are decided by the tutor and the student. The Literacy Program offers tutors at local libraries, churches, community centers, and on the college campus, so tutors can choose a location close to their work or home.
Volunteers should be high school graduates over the age of 18. Teaching experience is not required because volunteers will receive the 12 hours of mandatory training.
For those unable to attend the sessions on campus, online training is available. It will take approximately 10 hours and you may complete the training at your own pace. Upon completion, an on-campus orientation of about two hours will be required.
