Literacy Volunteers of Methuen


The Nevins Memorial Library has partnered with the Methuen Adult Learning Center and the Literacy Volunteers of Massachusetts to develop an adult literacy program to bring free, private, flexible, individualized instruction to adults in the community who are struggling everyday with basic reading and language problems.  The waiting list for classroom programs in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and Basic Education (ABE) is long and so we are offering this alternative program to help those individuals who, for one reason or another, are unable to commit to those programs.

Volunteers need only be high school graduates and be fluent English speakers.  While previous teaching experience and foreign language abilities may be a bonus they are not required to become a tutor.  Please contact Sue Jefferson at 978-686-4080 x 32 to reserve a spot in the orientations and/or trainings.  You must have attended an orientation to be admitted to the training sessions.
