Literacy NRV Classroom Assistants

Are you interested in working directly with adults to improve their skills but can't commit to a full year of tutoring?

​

Literacy NRV classroom assistants provide tutoring support during our 7-10 week long classes. Our lead instructor will manage lesson planning and classroom organization; classroom assistants help with tracking attendance, greeting students, distributing resources, and tutoring students in breakout groups or individually during class.

​

Classes include English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), family literacy, digital literacy, financial literacy, health literacy, and U.S. citizenship and GED preparation.

​

Eligible volunteer classroom assistants:

• Can commit to volunteering at a Literacy NRV 2-hour class once a week for a period of 7-10 weeks (varies by class type)

• Are at least 18 years old

• Have at least a high school diploma and read at a 12th grade level or higher

• Have the ability to communicate clearly

• Are patient, flexible, non-judgmental, and supportive

• Have sensitivity to other backgrounds and cultures

​

The pathway to becoming a volunteer classroom assistant:

1. Join us for a Volunteer Information Session.

2. Following the session, complete a volunteer application and volunteer agreement.

3. Attend a one-hour orientation meeting prior to the beginning of the class (details will be provided).

4. Meet with lead instructor for additional training as needed.
