Become a Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Literacy Pittsburgh. The first step in becoming a volunteer is to watch this 15-minute video about our organization, our students, and what is needed to be a successful volunteer.

After watching the video, you'll next need to complete the volunteer application and register for a free, two-hour Introductory Training about teaching adult learners. Please see the training dates below for upcoming workshops. Information about additional training will be provided at the introductory session. We can’t wait to meet you!

“As a tutor, I’ve realized how much the personal and academic are intertwined for students. You can’t give your full attention to a word problem if you are worried about rent money, and you can’t meet the criteria for a new job if you can’t respond to an emailed question without making mistakes in writing. It’s an especially important reminder to me because I went straight through my school, got a teaching job and stayed there for 37 years. How “boring” that is compared to the journeys of many of my students!”
