Volunteer Tutors
/ weekly
at least 6 months
The Volunteer Literacy Tutor Program is based at Okanagan College. It is designed to match community tutors with students who are in need of basic literacy and numeracy tutoring. Training is provided. Commitment is one to two hours a week.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
The tutors are able to set up their own schedule with their student, so it is very flexible. Support and resources are offered through the instructor of the program at the college. The rewards of helping an individual reach their own educational goals are immeasurable. Helping one of our students can lead them into enrolling at the college, being promoted at work, gaining employment, etc. Tutors meet with their students at the college or in a public place, or meetings can be done online.
