Volunteer Opportunities
"It is the talented and committed care of volunteers that is the heart and soul of our adult literacy services.”
Our volunteers each contribute to changing lives, and our community, as they support individuals to meet their full potential.
The simple gift of helping others help themselves has been the inspiration for the volunteers who have served with us.
Volunteer tutors each receive 15 hours of professional training to equip them with the tools they need to skilfully and confidently coach adult learners. Other volunteer positions receive job shadowing on specific requirements.
Benefits of Volunteering:
"On-the-job" training, work experience, letters of reference and expanding your personal network.
