About the role
No one should be held back from a dream because of their reading or language abilities. As a volunteer tutor with Literacy Mid-South, you will play a critical role in helping an adult gain the basic literacy and language skills necessary to live their best life. If you are comfortable reading and/or speaking English and are passionate about literacy, you are ready to be trained as a tutor. With your talents plus our training and support, you'll be ready to empower an adult learner to master the basic literacy and language skills they need to achieve their goals. Volunteer tutors will work with adults who read below a sixth-grade level on their reading skills. All volunteers work with learners for about two hours a week to help them develop basic literacy and language skills, build confidence, and reach personal goals. By empowering individual learners, volunteer tutors are vital in achieving Literacy Mid-South's vision of 100% literacy in the communities we call home. Ready to find out more?

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
