When I first retired, I wanted to give back to the community & stay active. I always loved education and teaching, LAB was a perfect fit for me. I get to do what I enjoy & also see the growth of the person I am assisting. It is so rewarding

I very much enjoy meeting people from other cultures. I honor my father by supporting literacy. I honor my mother by supporting an organization that seeks to improve the employability of others.

While I enjoyed my 23 year career, I always regretted not having a chance to use my education degree. I am so happy to see my learner improve her reading ability & also use my previous work experience as LAB treasurer.

IF YOU WANT TO TOUCH THE FUTURE

TOUCH A LIFE



Literacy for Adults in Brevard is a 501c (3) nonprofit educational organization.

                    Our tutors work with adult learners to improve their skills in reading, writing, and communication                       
using accredited programs, "adutilizing" their own real-life contextual learning experiences.

Tutors work to continually encourage their students to achieve their goals.

You’ll be happy to know that being a teacher is not a requirement.

Do you enjoy reading?

Do you like helping people?

Do you like to be organized when you take on a project or plan?

After completing an application, you will be interviewed by a volunteer coordinator.

You will then be introduced to our online training, which you can complete at your own pace.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

LAB learners complete an application and go through an interview process. Additionally, Learners have an assessment to determine what they specifically need to learn to achieve their goals. At that time, the volunteer coordinator will work to identify the best available tutor to work with this student.
 
It is the tutor’s responsibility to contact the learner to determine the day, time, and place you will meet. Tutors typically meet at least once a week for 90 minutes with the learner in the library closest to the student’s home. Tutors are responsible for making the arrangements with the library reference desk.
 
The Tutor Resource Team will determine the materials the tutor will use for their student.

COULD I BE A TUTOR?

Do you believe in goals? Whatever your background, we will help you develop the knowledge and skills to be a successful LAB tutor.  Your role as tutor is to help someone achieve their goal, to be a facilitator of adult learning, not just teaching a skill or subject, but to accelerate the learner's ability to go forward on their own. The process to become a tutor involves a complete application, an interview and self paced module training. Additional training may be offered quarterly on various relevant topics
