You can make a difference in someone’s life by giving the gift of literacy. Each year, thousands of Floridians give back to their communities by tutoring an adult. Tutors and other program volunteers are an important part of the literacy field in Florida. This section will provide you with information on how to get started and what you might expect when becoming a literacy tutor.

www.floridaliteracy.org, where you will find a link on the left hand side that reads "Become a Literacy Volunteer", and then "Directory of Volunteer Opportunities". Once you are on that page, select the county where you’d like to volunteer, this will generate a list of locations in your county that are in need of volunteers. Once you get in contact with those organizations, they will be able to provide proper training and instruction.
