Volunteering Changes Lives

Volunteering Changes Lives

Our volunteers bring passion and dedication to the Palm Beach County Library System, making a daily impact. A key role they fill is tutoring for the Adult Literacy Project, a one-on-one program helping adults improve reading, writing or English-speaking skills.

In Palm Beach County, 22% of adults struggle with basic literacy, and one in five students speaks a language other than English at home. With 46 students on our waiting list, we urgently need tutors, especially at the Main Library, and the Greenacres, Lantana, Okeechobee and Wellington branches.

We offer online tutor training and a required two-hour in-person orientation. Tutors meet with students once or twice a week for 90 minutes at the Library, with free materials provided.
