Volunteers are needed

Tutor training available now!

English At Large has approximately 250 learners waiting to be matched with adult tutors. We need volunteers to teach English literacy in a one-on-one setting. As an English literacy volunteer, you will receive ongoing support from staff and access to in-service opportunities.

To become an English literacy tutor, you will need to attend both an orientation and our 15-hour training workshop. During the training, volunteers will receive instructional materials.

Fall 2008 Open House Reception

Come hear directly from our students and our volunteers why the work we do is so important and rewarding. Our fall Open House reception offers a relaxed, low-pressure opportunity to learn more about English At Large and the people we serve. All are welcome to attend and meet the executive director, board members, volunteers, and students. This is not a fundraiser.

Special feature: We will preview our new 9-minute video showcase, featuring the faces and voices of our volunteers and learners!

Date: Thursday, October 30
Time: 6:30 - 7:30 PM
Location: Cary Memorial Library, 1874 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington

For more information or to RSVP, contact Marlana Patton in the English At Large office: 781-395-2374
