Volunteer Tutor Opportunities in Montgomery County

300 students are on our waiting list looking for your help

Who we are: Founded in 1963, the Literacy Council of Montgomery County, Maryland is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to helping adults in Montgomery County learn to speak, read, write and understand English.

What We Do: We train volunteers to tutor one-on-one or with small groups of students who live or work in Montgomery County. LCMC provides Basic Literacy (read and write) and English as a Second Language training programs (read, write and speak).

Tutor Role: Meet with student/students twice a week for one hour. Set your schedule and location with your students allowing total flexibility.

Qualifications: Prospective tutors do not need to have any prior experience in education. You only need to be fluent in English yourself and have the desire to assist an adult to read and write in English.

Training: Start by attending our one and a half-hour orientation during which we will introduce you to our organization and training methodology. Our training workshops are usually spread over two Saturdays and last a total of 12 hours.

Commitment: Six months.

Your Impact: Provide your student/students with skills for life.
