Program Overview
PLC activities include delivering online and in-person tutor training workshops, supporting Pacific Northwest literacy programs, providing GED test vouchers to low-income students, sponsoring an annual volunteer tutor conference, and publishing an online newsletter and announcements of interest to the adult literacy community. We train over 200 volunteer tutors each year and those tutors go on to work with many learners for at least a 5X multiplier.
The PLC does not place tutors in programs. Rather, we coordinate with local programs to provide information about, and links to, programs currently seeking volunteer tutors.
