Volunteer Tutor Program Operations Study Group (Spring 2019) Week 1: Volunteer Management

The volunteer tutor program allows Community Adult Learning Programs the opportunity to build and sustain capacity. Unlike CALP staff, volunteer tutors can spend significantly more time one on one with learners to address their often-complex learning needs. This consistency is invaluable to an adult foundational learner as they commit to their own learning.

Join Cheryl Lovstrom and Emily Robinson Leclair as we explore the many elements involved in running a successful volunteer tutor program. Together we will work through a series of online Study Groups that build on our shared understanding of Volunteer Program Operations.

March 25 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Volunteer Management:

To begin we will look at your role as volunteer tutor coordinator. We will also examine the importance of volunteer recruitment and the 10 Steps of Screening.

Please come prepared to this session by completing the Volunteer Management section of the Volunteer Tutor Program Operations eLearning. 

April 1 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Training and Support for Volunteer Tutors:

Together we will discuss the value of volunteer orientation and the different training options available for new volunteer tutors. We will also share the importance of providing ongoing support to volunteer tutors.

Please come prepared to this session by completing the Training and Support section of the Volunteer Tutor Program Operations eLearning. 

April 8 10:30 a.m.– 12:00 p.m.

Matching Volunteer Tutors and Adult Literacy Learners:
