There are over 70 adults in Monterey County waiting for a tutor to help them learn how to read, write, speak and understand English better. Language skills are crucial not only for people to navigate the labor force, but also to help their children thrive in school and become productive members of society.
One in four adults in Monterey County read below the 4th grade level. Administrators with the Monterey County Free Libraries want to change this statistic.
Become a literacy tutor. Volunteers with the program provide one-on-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 the new tutor training. Make a commitment of just two hours per week for six months or longer if you wish.
The next orientation and training will be held at the Seaside Branch Library at 550 Harcourt Ave, Seaside, CA 93955
Part I on Tuesday, July 17, 6:00-8:30 pm
Part II on Thursday, July 19, 6:00-8:30 pm. Would-be volunteers are asked to attend both sessions.
For more information or to register for training, call 831-883-7597, or email andrewscs@co.monterey.ca.us
