Become a volunteer tutor to Lee County residents who want to learn English or improve reading skills.

No foreign language or teaching experience is necessary, only the desire to help and the ability to commit an hour, twice a week.

To volunteers it is only a couple hours; to students it is the chance to change their lives.

There are two upcoming tutor-training workshops:

– July 17 and 20 from 9 a.m. to noon

– Aug. 14 and 17 from 9 a.m. to noon

The workshops will be held at 7275 Concourse Dr., Suite 300, in Fort Myers.

To register, call the Literacy Council at (239) 676-5202.
