The Portland Literacy Council invites you to present practical, hands-on workshops to support volunteer literacy tutors in our community.  

Schools, churches, community centers, libraries, community colleges, and nonprofit organizations in the tri-county area depend on the services of volunteer literacy tutors to support both English-speaking and non-English-speaking adults in learning fundamental literacy skills. Volunteer literacy tutors ensure that everyone has access to a basic education! 

Now, YOUR  tips, coaching, and expertise are needed to help support volunteer literacy tutors have successful and rewarding experiences and real opportunities to impact their communities!

♦  Grammar

♦  Reading & writing (including foundational literacy)

♦  Working with underserved learners

♦  US citizenship preparation

♦  Health literacy support & life skills
