If you are interested in helping a neighbor communicate in English, you will want to attend Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley’s free tutor training workshop.

The workshop will be held from 6:30-9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, October 11, 13, 18, and 20 at the St. Charles Public Library, 1 S. 6th Avenue in St. Charles.

Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley helps adults read, write, speak, and understand English by matching them with trained volunteer tutors who provide in-person or virtual lessons once each week.

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

To register for the workshop or for more information, visit www.lvfv.org or call/text 630-584-4428.
