Volunteer: Literacy Volunteer TutorShare your skills and help someone reach their potential. Literacy Volunteer tutors are needed for basic reading and writing, math and digital literacy. Tutors are needed to support New Mainers learn English. You can be the reason someone is able to get a job, read to their children, and have a sense of accomplishment about their learning. No teaching experience is required, and we provide training. The next training will be April 28, May 5, and May 12, 2026. This Training is in-person and will be held at Augusta Adult and Community Education (AACE), 22 Armory Street, Augusta, ME 04330. The first session is an orientation that gives participants an understanding of the Literacy Volunteer program and the role of a tutor. It gives attendees an opportunity to see if this is the right fit for them. The next two sessions are about adult learning principles and teaching people of different cultures.
