VOLUNTEER
The Literacy & Learning Center has many opportunities for volunteer work across all of our programs. No specific experience is required and we have options for a variety of interests, skillsets, and schedules.
After-School Program
Volunteers and staff help guide students in the group setting during TL&LC's After-School Programs through their homework and supplemental educational activities. The schedule for After-School help is flexible, and the program runs from 3:15pm - 5:00pm, weekdays.
Early Learners
The Literacy & Learning Center works with Macon County child care organizations to provide early literacy programs for our littlest learners.
Individual Tutoring
Tutors are matched with students based on student age and area of need.
Volunteers with skills in upper level math, for example, are matched accordingly. For any match, the only requirement is interest in helping a child learn. Sessions are typically one hour twice a week. A background in education or
experience working with youth is a plus,
but not required.
Events/Administrative
Volunteers are needed for our annual fundraising events including set-up and/or providing general assistance. Administrative assistance includes help with organization, filing, or
bulk mailings.
Summer Camps
TL&LC hosts educational summer camps each year to provide an enriching learning environment for students while they aren't in school. Volunteers assist with fun and educational activities provided by
The Literacy & Learning Center.
English as a Second Language Classes
TL&LC hosts a free weekly English language class open to all at The Presbyterian Church in Highlands. Volunteers assist the instructor and can help provide individual attention.
