Volunteer Tutors

We are recruiting compassionate and enthusiastic volunteers in the Greater Charlottesville area to tutor adults in English speaking, reading, writing, basic education, and U.S. Citizenship preparation. Many of our students are immigrants and refugees.

If you would like to provide one-to-one instruction to adults in our community, we invite you to attend a New Tutor Training. No teaching experience is required, only a desire to help learners reach their educational goals. You can learn more about our program by signing up for one of our virtual information sessions, watching one of our information sessions here, or reading these informational Slides here. Please reach out to us at volunteers@literacyforall.org with any questions.

Read what volunteer tutors say about their experiences in the program.
