Volunteer Tutors
The goal of Literacy Services is to reduce adult illiteracy within the JWCC District by providing effective, non-threatening, and easily accessible literacy instruction and by building public awareness of the issue of adult illiteracy. Tutors may enroll in the program anytime during the year.
Literacy Services matches trained volunteers on a one-to-one basis with non-reading or low-level reading adults, and with adults who need to learn English as a Second Language. Direct literacy services are provided to Illinois adult students over the age of 16 who read below ninth grade level. The program is free to both tutors and students. Times and locations for tutoring are flexible. Privacy and confidentiality are assured as students proceed through lessons designed to help them meet their personal goals.
