Tutoring – LitNet learners are both immigrant and U.S. born, with the majority seeking English language instruction. They range in age from 18 – 72. Tutors participate in coaching/training, are matched with a learner, and are available to tutor one to two hours per week in a public and mutually convenient location. The strength of our program is the individualized and one-on-one approach, which offers a safe and secure learning environment for both tutors and learners.

Volunteering with Literacy Network
Literacy Network offers members of our community the opportunity to get involved and make a difference for immigrants, individuals, and families. Each year at LitNet, over 200 volunteer tutors, share their time and talent with our students teaching them to read, write and speak English, prepare for the high school equivalency exam, and study for the US Citizenship test. Much of LitNet’s success is due to the commitment and compassion of our diverse group of volunteers. Volunteering with us will teach you more about the strengths and challenges facing our community, allow you to connect with others who share your belief in the power of education to transform lives, and find a compelling way to give back.
