We need you! The Volunteer Tutor Literacy Program is seeking volunteers. Are you looking for a chance to help develop the literacy or numeracy skills in an adult learner? Or an opportunity to give back to our community? Our program, the VLTP, is based at Okanagan College. We are needing volunteers to work one on one with adult learners who are wanting to improve their own literacy or numeracy skills. Your commitment will be 1 to 2 hours per week, with your schedule to be determined by you and your learner. Tutoring can be done remotely over Zoom, Skype, Facetime, etc. or face to face at the college or another public meeting place. To start, you will attend a short intake meeting, followed by training, and then you can begin meeting with your learner. If you are interested, please call or email Rene at:
250-762-5445 local 4244 or rdahms@okanagan.bc.ca
or Cathy at:
