Sometimes, the way to help a child is to help an adult

Become a literacy tutor!

Imagine not being able to fill out a job application, help your children with their homework, or read the signs in a grocery store. In Monterey County, one in four adults read below the 4th grade level. Help them help themselves!

Become a literacy tutor with the Read with Monterey County Free Libraries’ literacy program and provide one-to-one tutoring to help learners read, write, speak and understand English better. New volunteers may join the program at any point during the year by registering for our new tutor training. Make a commitment of just two hours per week for at least six months.

There are over 70 adults in the Monterey our waiting list who are ready for your assistance.

The next orientation and new tutor training is at the Seaside Branch, 550 Harcourt Ave in Seaside. It takes place in two days: Monday, June 11, 6:00-8:30 pm and again on June 14 at the same time and place
