Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley is hosting a tutor training workshop for volunteers who are willing to help adults learn English. It will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, May 8-17, at the St. Charles Public Library, 1 S. Sixth Ave.

Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley helps adults learn English by matching them with volunteer tutors one to one.

Most of these adults have come from other countries to live in safety, send their children to good schools, and contribute to our economic well-being. With a little help, they can be more productive members of our community.

The program provides material and training so that anyone can be a tutor. You don't need a second language or a teaching background to qualify. Successful volunteer tutors come from all walks of life.

A volunteer tutor meets with an adult student for one hour each week. Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley arranges convenient, comfortable, and safe public locations for tutoring. Most tutors and students meet at local libraries.

Residents interested in registering for the tutor training workshop can visit www.lvfv.org to register or call/text Peg at (630) 584-4428.
