The Temple Literacy Council recruits volunteer literacy tutors to work with adult learners in the Temple area. Tutors are trained in the Laubach Literacy method, a tested and proven system of teaching phonetic reading. We enjoy a productive partnership with Temple College and other community organizations, with each providing special levels of assistance to the adult learner and the family. These partners work together to provide a seamless transition from illiteracy to success in life.

If you can read, you can help as a volunteer tutor.
Temple Literacy Council needs your support and help in fighting illiteracy. Volunteers are needed to serve as tutors or as other types of volunteers for the Council. Perhaps you know an adult who could use some help with reading and writing and could tell that person about the program and help change a life.
