Volunteer Opportunities at MSLC
Become a volunteer tutor. Our program is largely based
on dedicated and talented community members who donate their time and
energy to working one-on-one or in small groups with adult students
of Basic Literacy or ESL (English as a Second Language). Basic tutors
deliver instruction on job skills, math and money skills, and/or reading
everyday media such as labels, ads, schedules, magazines, and recipes.
ESL tutors deliver instruction on fundamentals of English conversation
and writing, listening skills, cultural acclimation, and situational
English such as how to speak with a doctor or a child's teacher. Tutors
participate in tutor training on instructional strategies and lesson
planning. Tutors also receive orientation on our instructional materials
and have continued professional support from our experienced program
directors. Tutors are asked to meet with a student for at least 2 hours
a week. Contact one of our offices about becoming
a tutor.
Become an office volunteer. Volunteers are always
needed to help our staff in serving the public and supporting our tutors
and program directors. We need both regular (same time each week - minimum
1 hour/week) and occasional (we call you whenever we need some extra
help - you always have the option of declining) volunteers. Contact
one of our offices about becoming an office volunteer.
