Tutor Training!

Save the Date: Saturday, August 14, 2010 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Our fair city of Cleveland sports a 69% illiteracy rate. In 2007, Cleveland ranked 2nd in the nation in terms of people in poverty, according to the US Census Bureau. There's a connection between illiteracy and poverty that you can help to break!

Seeds of Literacy has a great need for volunteer tutors. Tutors work individually with students on reading, writing and math skills, offer encouragement and support, and help students develop confidence and positive attitudes about learning.

This tutor training session will be held at the Seeds of Literacy Resource Center. Orientation will introduce you to the organization as well as to the process our students go through.

Additional training schedules are scheduled for:
Saturday, September 18th, 9:00 am-2:00 pm
Saturday, November 6th, 9:00 am-2:00 pm

To register, contact Stacie Papp at or 216.661.7950.

The Resource Center is located at 3104 West 25th Street, 3rd Floor (corner of West 25th Street and Clark Avenue), Cleveland, OH 44109 in the US Bank branch building.
