Current Volunteer Opportunities
- General Volunteering for adults 18 years or older
Contact Esther Chase in Outreach Services if you're interested in helping with basic tasks like making game kits, shelf reading, light cleaning, and more. Volunteer hours are available in two hour increments Monday through Friday.
- Adult Literacy & English as a Second Language (ESL)
Contact Esther Chase in Outreach Services if you're interested in helping to lead ESL conversation classes or ESL book groups. If you're not all that social, consider helping to prepare learning materials or write book reviews on short fiction from the literacy collection. Experience is not necessary and training is available. Having 4 or more years of experience with learning a foreign language helps, yet there's no need to be fluent in that language. Volunteer hours are available in one hour increments (or more) on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Homework Help
Contact Esther Chase in Outreach Services if you're interested in volunteering as a tutor for K-5 students. Volunteer hours are available Tuesdays from 4-8 p.m., Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. and Sundays from 1-4 p.m.
- Computer Tutoring for Small Groups
Contact Esther Chase in Outreach Services if you're interested in teaching basic computer skills to small groups of adults and seniors. We currently have classes scheduled for Wednesday mornings from 10-11, Thursday evenings from 7-8, and Saturday mornings from 9:30-10:30. You may elect to teach as many or as few classes as you would like.
We are also looking for bilingual tutors who might like to teach computer classes in Spanish, Polish or Arabic.
