be an instrument of change
Volunteers make free literacy education possible across Eagle County. Community members work one-to-one or in small groups with adult and youth learners building reading, writing, and English skills.
You do not need teaching experience. We provide training, materials, and ongoing support so you feel prepared and connected from day one.
