Detroit Public Library Literacy Program Needs Volunteer Tutors!
The Detroit Public Library is planning a relaunch of our adult (18+) literacy program at the Main Library, and we need volunteer tutors to make this happen! We are hoping that you, your colleagues, or patrons might be interested in participating.
We are looking for tutors who:
-
Are reliable, patient, compassionate, positive, engaging and can make sure the learner is making progress toward a main reading goal using DPL curriculum and learner-supplied items (e.g. workbooks, assessments, work plans, etc.)
-
Can participate and complete a tutor training with DPL staff (~60-90 minutes), which be conducted online or in-person
-
Commit to 2 hours a week for in-person sessions during opening hours at DPL Main (plus any preparation time before sessions)
The program will run from January through the end of October each year. Interested tutors can apply
here.
They can reach out at tlc@detroitpubliclibrary.org
or 313-481-1363 for more questions.
I have PDF flyer that I’m happy to share and can also drop off a limited number of printed copies within the Detroit Metro area. Please let me know if you need any further information from me.
Kind regards,
Anita
