GET INVOLVED

RECRUITING

The Temple Literacy Council recruits volunteer literacy tutors to work with adult learners in the Temple area. Each adult learner who wants to learn to read or improve their English literacy skills is paired one-on-one or in a small group with a basic literacy and/or ESL tutor.

VOLUNTEERS

Volunteer tutors are trained in the Laubach Literacy method, a tested and proven system of teaching phonetic reading. Regular in-service workshops are hosted in Temple. Staff and volunteers attend statewide conferences in an attempt to improve instruction.

AMBASSADORS

The TLC Ambassadors promote Adult Literacy Awareness using a yearly theme as they plan and execute activities to promote the mission of the TLC. Members may also be tutors, students, committee members or TLC Board members as they reach out to the community to recruit students and tutors as well as raise funds and awareness.

Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope.
