Read to Learn Adult Literacy/Volunteer Program

Free Adult Reading Classes

Read to Learn is an adult literacy program offering free adult reading classes at locations throughout our community.

In Read to Learn, trained volunteer tutors implement prepared lesson plans for English-speaking adult learners in a one-to-one in-person instructional setting.

Trained volunteer tutors provide one-to-one tutoring to help adult learners with basic reading and writing skills. Learners must have basic English-speaking skills.

Students may attend one location only.

Student registration is closed.

Please check back in July for fall registration information.
