 This
Holiday Season Give the Gift of ENGLISH:
“Resolve to Help Someone Read, Write and/or Speak English in
2008”
A message from the
Literacy Council of Montgomery County, Rockville.
December is
perhaps the one month of the year during which people are at
their most generous. Many of us give to charity, volunteer our
time for various causes or resolve to make a
difference in the New Year. If you are thinking of
volunteering in 2008 in an area that will have a
profound impact on the lives of people in your
local community then think about English
literacy. There are two areas of English literacy in which
your volunteer hours are in high demand: (1) Basic Literacy (reading
and writing) and (2) English as a Second Language (reading,
writing and speaking). At the Literacy Council of
Montgomery County we train volunteers such as you to tutor
one-to-one and/or to work with small groups of students.
You do not need to have any prior experience in education;
you only need to be fluent in English and have the desire to
teach an adult. You can start by attending one of our regular
orientations, during which, we will introduce you to LCMC and
our training methodology. So as you consider your New
Year’s 2008 resolution, consider LCMC, our volunteer tutor
program is completely flexible allowing you and your student
to set your schedules.
