Volunteers
Interest in helping?
Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers the program has been very successful.
If you would like to volunteer as a tutor, please call the local Centre for more information.
All it takes is a willingness to help others and a few hours each week. We provide the training and resources.
Tutor training workshops are held every two to three months.
Tutor Training Objectives
- to present the Adult Learning Centres’ philosophy which advocates a learner-centred approach
- to emphasize that learning does not usually take place "in a straight line" and varies among individuals
- to convey that the tutor and learner are forming a learning partnership in which they work together towards common goals
- to provide tutors with practical techniques or approaches they can use to help learners improve their reading, writing and numeracy skills
- to inform tutors of their responsibilities and the many supports and resources that are available to them
