Do you want to help your neighbor? Join CCM as we assist Literacy for Life in tutoring adult learners from our community. For over 30 years, we have taught adults to read, to speak English, to do math, and to receive their GEDs. Literacy for Life is looking for adult volunteers to tutor on a one-to-one basis. We will train you, provide you with materials, give you a place to meet with your learner, and support you every step of the way. No need for previous teaching experience! We are located at W&M's new School of Education on Monticello Avenue. Visit www.literacyforlife.org, or call 221-3325 for more information.
