Step 1 Orientation for New Volunteers
Why am I required to participate in a volunteer orientation?
Literacy Nassau is committed to ensuring that we place volunteers in a role that speaks to them. Our face-to-face orientation meeting reviews our mission and history and gives an overview of each of our programs.
Our volunteer opportunities are based on enrollment and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule. Please note that volunteers work with adult population only.
Orientation Schedule
Volunteers Needed:
Currently, we are looking for Basic Literacy (BL) volunteers only. These tutors will work with adults who are usually native born and speak English. These students either weren't afforded the appropriate chances to be educated or had undiagnosed learning disabilities as children that prohibited them from learning. Training will include instruction in the Orton-Gillingham approach to teach adult BL students the OG principles of reading and writing. You will be required to meet with a group of 2-3 students at least twice a week.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please choose the orientation meeting you would like to attend on the
volunteer form:
Wednesday, May 7th; 6:00-7:00pm
Tuesday, May 13th; 10:00-11:00am
You will receive an email reminder a
few days prior to your meeting.
Meetings are in-person at our office located at Literacy Nassau - 1 Ivy Lane in Wantagh.
