Literacy Council Will Offer Tutor Training The York County Literacy Council (YCLC) is seeking volunteers to tutor English as a Second Language (ESL) and native-born adult students who are seeking to improve their literacy skills. YCLC provides free and confidential literacy services to adults in York County. Tutors may help students to study for their GED or to reach a literacy goal such as being able to read to their children, securing or improving employment, and working toward entry into an institution for higher learning. Volunteer tutors do not need a background in education to help students to accomplish their literacy goals. The next training session will be held at York County Literacy Council, located in the United Way Building at 800 E. King St., York, from 1 to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Aug. 13, 20, and 27, and Wednesdays, Aug. 15 and 22.
Participants must attend all sessions. The parking lot may be entered from Sherman Street. After completing the training, the tutors will meet with their students once per week for one and a half to two hours in a public location arranged by YCLC. YCLC coordinators will help tutors with the selection of materials and lesson planning throughout the tutoring experience. Requirements to be a tutor include a high school diploma or equivalent, sensitivity, patience, reliability, and attendance at training, pending a preliminary interview. To register for the training, readers may contact 717-845-8719 or volunteers@ yorkliteracy.org. For additional information, including a complete training schedule, readers may contact Rita at 717-845-8719 or cr.mgr@yorkliteracy.org or visit www.yorkliteracy.org.
