Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley will host a free tutor training workshop from 6:30pm to 9:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, May 11, 13, 18, and 20 at Pottawatomie Community Center in St. Charles. The workshop will be limited to six participants to allow for social distancing and masks will be required.

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

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 at a time that is convenient for both.
