Help Someone learn to read and write. (Eureka, Mckinleyville, Fortuna, Arcata)

Becoming a volunteer literacy tutor at Humboldt Literacy Project requires a special kind of person—someone patient, persistent, and a bit creative. No teaching credential or specific background is necessary. Your unique life experiences and your desire to help can make you a valuable English literacy tutor, contributing to someone in your community working towards their goals and enhancing their life. We work with a diverse group, including those with basic literacy needs, some aiming to improve high school or college-level comprehension and composition, and others focused on learning English as a second language for broader goals. ​Most of our tutoring pairs meet for about 60-90 minutes, one or two times per week, at a time and location they have chosen together, studying with materials supplied by HLP. Some of our matches have been working together for several years! Please contact our website at humboldtliteracy.org and fill out an application. Or call us at show contact info for more information.
