The Literacy Group of Waterloo Region

Want to make a difference in people's lives?

Did you know that 24% of adults in our region have literacy issues? The Literacy Group of Waterloo Region (TLG) is looking for visionary and talented members to join our Volunteer Team and help our agency meet the needs of adults with low levels of literacy.

TLG is a community based organization that provides accessible literacy training services to empower adults to reach their goals and improve their quality of life by upgrading their skills in reading, writing, numeracy, computer & workplace essentials through our volunteer tutor base. We serve a diverse group of people in the Kitchener, Cambridge and rural Waterloo counties.

Tutors Needed

Volunteers are needed to tutor adults in one-on-one or small group settings. Literacy tutors teach reading, writing and numeracy as well as computer and workplace skills. Strong English speaking and writing skills are required.

We are seeking individuals who are patient and empathetic towards adults learning to upgrade their literacy skills.

Online and workshop training is provided to teach tutoring techniques for teaching adults. Ongoing training is offered.
