Free Adult Literacy Tutor Training

Your Chippewa River District Library is offering free Adult Literacy Tutor Training this November. As a volunteer Adult Literacy Tutor, you will learn the tools and techniques to help other adults in our community improve their reading skills and their ability to function in our modern society. Adult Literacy Tutor Training takes place Friday November 14th from 5pm-8pm and continues Saturday November 15th from 9am-5pm. Training is free and takes place at the Veterans Memorial Library branch of the Chippewa River District Library system. Space is limited, therefore pre-registration is required. Call Susan at 989.773.3242 ext. 49 to register for free Adult Literacy Tutor Training. Attendance at both sessions is mandatory to achieve Adult Literacy Tutor Certification.

Over 20% of adults in the U.S. are functionally illiterate. That means one out of every 5 American adults can’t read road signs, can’t read the instructions on a bottle of medication, and don’t have the minimum reading skills required to earn a living wage in our society. You can make a difference in our community by becoming a volunteer Adult Literacy Tutor.

If you are interested in helping people in our community gain the skills they need to get ahead in life, register for free Adult Literacy Tutor training today. Call Susan at 989.773.3242 ext. 49 and tell her you want to become an Adult Literacy Tutor.

Free Adult Literacy Tutor training is made possible by a grant from the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation.
