Youth Literacy Volunteer Tutor
Ongoing
Join our exciting Youth Literacy Program and make a difference in young lives! We match volunteer tutors with kids in Grades 1-5 and youth English learners in Grades 6-12 who need help with their reading skills, reading comprehension, and academic vocabulary. We offer training and support to our tutors, and we can assure you that this will be a unique and rewarding experience for you! Youth Literacy will run during the school year beginning in mid Fall 2023, with a minimum three month commitment. Learners will be paired with a volunteer and meet once a week for 1 hour. The family and volunteer tutor will select their preferred library branch and time for their session. If you're eager to be a part of this transformative initiative, please get in touch with us! Reach out via phone, email, or visit us in person to get started! Together, let's foster a love for learning and empower the next generation. Call: 403.346.4576 ext. 8524| Email: youthlit@rdpl.org | Visit: Dawe Branch, Red Deer Public Library, 56 Holt St. (in the G.H. Dawe Centre) Volunteer tutors are required to be 16+ and provide a Vulnerable Sector Check.
