LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Library Literacy Program is in need of volunteer tutors for its adult and English as a Second Language, or ESL, programs in the Clearlake and Middletown areas.
The literacy programs offer one-on-one tutoring to learners ages 16 and older to improve their reading, writing, and conversation skills.
Virtual tutoring is also available.
Volunteer tutors bilingual in Spanish are especially needed, along with tutors willing to work with adults with learning or developmental disabilities.
No experience is necessary to become a literacy tutor as long as one has patience, a desire to help others, and a good command of the English language.
Tutor training, where volunteers learn useful techniques for teaching adults to read, is provided free of cost, along with ongoing support.
Upon completion of tutor training, tutors will be matched with learners, with tutoring hours being flexible for both the tutor and learner; sessions are typically held once per week for one hour.
Recent Adult Skills Survey data determined that Lake County had a 26% literacy proficiency level of at or below level 1, the lowest level.
Becoming a tutor can help someone to a better future. Many adults want to improve their reading and writing skills so they can access better jobs, further their own education, advocate for their children, and overall improve their way of life.
Through hard work and perseverance, adult learners can change their own, and their family’s lives, for the better.
If you are interested in becoming a literacy tutor or know someone who could benefit from our services, please call 707-263-7633 or email

Your volunteerism could help change a life.
