Enrich the life of an adult learner. Become a tutor. The experience will change your life too!

Unfortunately, one in four British Columbians cannot read this sentence. More than half of working age people in BC have difficulty reading, which makes it difficult for them to be a part of our changing economy. Be a part of the solution! The CR Community Literacy Association has students who need tutors.

Volunteer tutors work one-on-one with adults wanting to improve their English skills. The service is free and private. Everyone is welcome.

More tutors are needed for two programs. Adult literacy tutors work with youth and adults whose skills range from learning sound-letter relationships for the first time to reading at a junior high level. ESL tutors work with adults who are learning English as their second language.

The Literacy Association offers adult literacy support, evening ESL tutoring sessions and youth literacy mentorship. All programs are free, thanks to funding from the Ministry of Regional and Economic Skills Development.

Training for volunteer tutors will be held at the end of the month. If you are interested in becoming a tutor for either program phone 250 923 1275 or email Julina Bastock at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for more information.
