You don't need to be bilingual or have teaching experience to become an English literacy volunteer for adults. The Elgin Literacy Connection will train and guide you through the tutoring process of online lessons and face-to-face classes. Trainees must complete the first session on Oct. 5 and at least one other session in person. Upon completion of training, you'll be matched with a learner and meet regularly with that person for one or two hours per week. Register with the Elgin Literacy Connection at info@elginliteracy.org or (847) 742-6565. Space is limited. Tutors must be at least 18 years of age. $10 registration fee covers the cost of a background check.
