Teach to read

The Placentia Library District seeks to engage the talents, skills and commitment of volunteers to serve the communities' information and literacy needs. Our library offers a variety of skilled volunteer opportunities to make a meaningful contribution to library programs, operations, fundraising events and other community engagement functions. Skilled volunteers have opportunities to lead projects, work with teams of staff and volunteers, learn new skills, and have fun.

The Placentia Library District is very proud of its talented and dedicated volunteers. With the guidance and support of the Library staff, volunteers extend the reach of the Library. We hope you will join us!

We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to help an adult improve their reading and writing skills. With your assistance, learners will gain new opportunities such as receiving a job promotion or being able to communicate with their children’s teachers. No experience is required -- just a desire to help an adult achieve their literacy goals!

Volunteers should be able to

• tutor at least once a week (1-2 hours each session)
• commit to a minimum of 6 months or longer
• complete a training process before the start of your tutoring
• participate in tutor in-service meetings (every 6‑8 weeks) to reinforce your tutoring skills and learn new program information
• regularly check your email

• 18 or older
• read, write, and speak English clearly
• have basic computer skills

Once you have completed the training, you will be matched with a learner based on your time availability. Tutoring will take place at the library.

Basic learning materials are provided to both learners and tutors.

The literacy staff will provide you with assistance and support throughout the program.

Join the Placentia Library District’s Adult Literacy Program and make a difference in someone’s life!
