About YMCA Community Literacy
Unlock the power of literacy
YMCA Community Literacy is committed to nurturing the potential of everyone in our community, especially those who struggle with reading, writing, and English language skills. Y Literacy provides supportive and enriching experiences for the youth and adults in our programs. The volunteer tutors we match with our students are positive role models determined to help their students grow. We are very proud of our programs and appreciate those who support us.
We need volunteers to help with:
Literacy Council
The Literacy Council offers one on one tutoring for adults who need to
improve their reading, many of whom hope to get their reading skills high
enough to take GED classes. Once a learner has reached a 6th grade
reading level, they are referred to other programs to help them attain
higher skills. The Literacy Council also offers one on one tutoring for
immigrants and refugees to help them feel more comfortable in their new
home and to reach other goals such as being able to communicate in our
society or U.S. citizenship. Throughout the program, our tutors encourage
their learners to set goals, to develop objectives to reach those goals,
and to never give up. Whether you tutor an American or an immigrant, the
tutoring takes place once a week for about 1½ hours at local libraries.
