Where/When: , 15941 Donald Curtis Dr, Woodbridge. July 9, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Why Go: Help another adult improve his/her reading and writing skills by becoming a tutor with Literacy Volunteers. There are adult students waiting to be matched to volunteer tutors. No experience is necessary. Once you have attended both this full-day workshop, and a half-day one on July 23, you will be a certified tutor. Tutors will learn how to plan lessons around a student's self-designated goals. Once trained, the volunteer tutor will be matched with an adult who wishes to learn or improve basic reading and writing skills. Continental breakfast will be served on both days and lunch will be served on the first full day.
