Literacy New Jersey Mercer Winter 2024 Community Programs

Literacy New Jersey Mercer Programs Tutor Training Workshop

Give the gift of literacy! Join us as a volunteer tutor and help adults improve their English literacy skills. Work one-to-one or in small groups to teach adults learning to speak, read, and write English. 

Prospective volunteers attend 12 hours of online tutor training (on Zoom, 2 hours 1x a week for six weeks). After training, volunteers are matched with a small group of adult students or one-to-one and work with their program lead to plan classes and locate resources. No teaching experience is necessary. The training will give you the skills and support to become an effective tutor.

We are currently offering two tutor training sessions in January 2024: Tuesdays, from 6:00pm - 8:00 pm on Jan. 16, 23, 30 & Feb 6, 13, & 20 OR Wednesdays, from 9:30am - 11:30 am on Jan 17, 24, 31 & Feb 7, 14 & 21.
