Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley will hold a free tutor training workshop from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, January 10, 12, 17, and 19 at the St. Charles Public Library. Attendance will be limited to achieve social distancing and masks will be required regardless of vaccination status.

Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley helps adults read, write, speak, and understand English by matching them with trained volunteer tutors one to one. Tutors can meet with their adult students in-person, remotely, or a combination of the two.

If you know English, you can teach English to a Fox Valley resident who wants to learn. Volunteers do not need teaching experience to be successful. The program provides material and instruction so anyone can help.
