Volunteer
One-on-One Tutor Program
The One-on-One Tutor program is Nashville Adult Literacy Council’s primary mission. In this program we match one adult learner with one volunteer tutor. Volunteers choose to work with an adult who needs basic literacy instruction, or with an adult immigrant needing conversation and English language skills.
Start Now Program
Due to a large waiting list, it can take six months or longer for an adult learner to be paired with a One-on-One Tutor. The Start Now program is an opportunity for volunteers who need greater scheduling flexibility. Volunteers sign up for time slots in one-hour increments whenever their schedule permits.
Other Volunteer Opportunities
NALC has special events throughout the year and is always in need of creative minds! From conversation clubs to fundraisers, we are always looking for volunteers to help us plan events, create marketing materials, and other tasks. If you are interested, please contact us.
