Do you have a passion for life-long learning?

Are you committed to making a difference in the community?

Are you deeply concerned about levels of education and literacy across Wayne County?

Consider becoming a Board Member with the Literacy Volunteers of Wayne County! Our mission at Literacy Volunteers of Wayne County (NY) is to promote increased literacy in our community. We do this through well-trained volunteer tutors who provide free, one-to-one instruction in reading and writing, and English as a Second Language (ESL), the Our Community Reads program which is partnered with 9 of the 11 schools in Wayne County, our Infant and Toddler Book Clubs, and other initiatives. 

Never served on a Board? No problem! Your fellow Board Members will be happy to guide you! A Board Member is responsible for ensuring the organization has enough human, fiscal and community resources, and they provide the expertise and guidance required to conduct the organization's affairs. Fundraising and public relations are also major duties of a non-profit Board Member. Board Meetings are held every month for about 1-2 hours. Meetings can take place virtually or in person at our office. Board members are also involved in other exciting agency activities during the course of the year, such as our annual Bee-Cathalon.

Volunteer: Share your love of learning: Become a Tutor!

Become a tutor to help someone improve their math, reading, language, or digital literacy skills!

No PhD in math or history in education required! Often, our students are starting at the most basic math skills with addition and subtraction, or fractions and decimals, or the most basic literacy skills with reading and writing, or the English language. We can even help you brush up on topics before you begin teaching your student.

Education is a key to success, but there are very few places for adults to improve their basic skills.

Literacy Volunteers of Wayne County changes lives by providing much-needed opportunities for adults to learn. Our instruction focuses on the specific needs and goals of each Learner. Likewise, times and locations are flexible to meet the schedules and transportation needs of busy adults.

Most tutors work one-on-one with an adult student. This allows sessions to focus on the students own needs and goals. We match students and tutors according to a time and location that is convenient for both of them, as well as your interests and personality!

In order to tutor, you will need to attend some training to give you all the skills you'll need. We provide online tutor training in order to prepare you to become a tutor.

Literacy Volunteers of Wayne County is always looking for new volunteer tutors in all subjects. Our tutors work directly with adult learners to help them improve their skills, and help them work towards employment, a GED, learning English, or further education. To learn more, contact us or visit our website: https://lvwayne.org/volunteer/become-a-tutor/


If you'd like to learn more or get involved, join us for our next Volunteer Orientation. Contact Heidi at heidi.barnes@lvwayne.org to sign up.
