Family Literacy Center of Lapeer
Posted by Cynthia Schlaud
Volunteers Needed
It is a new year and our team here at the Family Literacy Center has started a new initiative called "Utilizing Our Talents." We know that many of our volunteers have exceptional skills in specific areas and we are not tapping into that incredible pool of talents. We hope to change this. We have identified specific needs within the Family Literacy Center and have developed basic job descriptions for these needs. It is our hope that our current volunteers may discover that they can help in new ways that may be very fulfilling to them. We also hope that our volunteer team will feel more comfortable recruiting new volunteers that may not want to be traditional volunteer tutors (although we always have a need for them as well). There is SO much our volunteers can do to help us achieve the mission of the Family Literacy Center which is "building skills and enriching lives through literacy in the Lapeer County area." Please review this extensive list of volunteer jobs. There is a great variety of jobs we need filled. Contact us if you believe you possess the skills necessary to be successful in one or more positions. We will provide training, support and supplies. Thank you for your time and commitment to the Family Literacy Center!
Why should I be a tutor? Most of us are looking for a way to make a difference in the world we live in. Teaching an adult to read is a satisfying way to do that. As a tutor, you help to "free a mind" to learn, to grow and achieve. You see a person "take wings" moving from self-doubt to self-confidence, from an "I can't do it" attitude to an "anything is possible" attitude. At the same time, YOU are learning, growing, achieving and gaining new perspectives on the world you live in. What better incentive could there be? Visit: www.readlapeer.org
