Volunteer Training Information

Volunteers must complete 10 hours of training before being placed with learners in the classroom; however, teaching experience is not necessary. Visiting an Adult Education classroom is an additional training component. In-person training sessions are conducted in the winter, summer and fall. Completion of training does not guarantee placement.
Interested in completing tutor training online? Find more information for online training on the IL Cyberdrive Literacy website.
