Read To Succeed is accepting applications for volunteers to tutor people in the Rutherford County area.
“We have a huge need for tutors right now,” said Shelly Stanley, program coordinator for Read To Succeed’s Adult Literacy Program. “We have several people on our waiting list to be tutored, and they’re all excited about improving their reading skills and enhancing the quality of their lives.”
Read To Succeed’s Adult Literacy Program works with adults 18 years old and older to provide one-on-one tutoring in basic literacy at no cost to the learner. The program provides a free 12-hour training course to teach volunteer tutors how to work with adults. The tutors are then paired one-on-one with adult learners.
The organization currently has 52 tutor-learner pairs working around the county. At its peak last spring, the Adult Literacy Program had 64 pairs.
To become a tutor, volunteers must attend a four-session training program held from 5-8 p.m., Jan. 10, 17, 24, and 31 at the Lon Nuell Literacy Center at First Baptist Church in Murfreesboro. Dinner will be provided. To sign-up for Read To Succeed’s tutor training, call 615-738-READ, e-mail adultliteracy@readtosucceed.org, or visit readtosucceed.org. |
