Project READ

The number of students in our program can help depends on how many trained volunteers we have. Become a Project READ tutor and help change a life.

You don't need any special skills or experience. After tutor training, you will be matched with a student. You will work with that student for one or two hours each week, at a time convenient to you. Training continues as you watch us tutor, we watch you tutor, and we give you whatever help you want. We will not leave you with a student until you are comfortable. We provide easy-to-use materials, support, and answers to your questions when you are tutoring.

Call (217) 423-7323 to enroll in the next training session. You can make a difference!
