Become a Tutor!
We have a long waiting list of students waiting to be matched with a volunteer tutor. Join our tutor training. All tutors receive 16 - 18 hours of training and ongoing support from our staff. 

Seven times a year, The Literacy Center offers a comprehensive, 16-hour training program which prepares volunteers to teach literacy skills to individual students and small groups. After the training, the tutor and learner schedule regular sessions at The Literacy Center, Bristol Community College Attleboro Campus, a local library, or another mutually convenient public location. A one-year commitment is required. At any given time, we have up to 100 learners who are urgently awaiting the services of a tutor.
