Volunteer Opportunities in Your Neighborhood
by Sara Cole 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi All, I just wanted to alert you all to volunteer opportunities in your own neighborhood. The Greater Pittsburgh Council is always looking for new volunteer tutors to work one-on-one with adult students hoping to improve their reading, writing, and math skills. The East End is in particular need of tutors to work with local adults working towards reading and math skills, many of the students towards the goal of attaining their GEDs. In most cases, you can make your own schedule where you meet one-on-one or with small groups of students to work with them. It's a straightforward and rewarding way to reach out to your neighborhood (and surrounding neighborhoods) and help your community. The Literacy Council provides training to assist you in your tutoring as well. I currently teach and volunteer there, so I am happy to answer any questions. You may also directly contact the East End coordinator, Jan Paul, to arrange a meeting. His contact is jpaul(a)gplc.org, and his phone number is 412.661.7006. More information can be found here: http://www.gplc.org/become-a-volunteer.cfm Similarly, if you know of local adults who are looking to improve their reading, writing, and math skills, get their GED, or are looking to improve English as a second language skills, GPLC offers free tutoring and classes. Information about that can be found here: http://www.gplc.org/become-a-student.cfm Thanks, Sara Cole
