Today, 21 learners are waiting for a tutor. With even more learner inquiries expected this fall, every new volunteer tutor brings us one step closer to serving everyone who reaches out for help.
This August, we’re inviting our amazing volunteers to help us recruit the next generation of literacy champions. If you know someone who would make a great volunteer reading tutor, now is the perfect time to invite them to join Ozarks Literacy Council.
When your referral becomes a verified volunteer tutor, you’ll both receive a FREE limited-edition Ozarks Literacy Council volunteer t-shirt!
