Imagine if you couldn't read a prescription, job application, bedtime story or ballot. Become a volunteer literacy tutor and help adults improve their reading, writing, or English skills. Just two hours a week of working with an adult student will change his or her life—and yours.  
 
Literacy New Jersey needs volunteers to work as tutors, helping adults with reading, writing, speaking English, and math. Students and tutors meet at a location convenient to both, such as a local library. Location is determined by student and tutor.
