Spring Adult Basic Education Series
coming in spring 2018 dates to follow
What types of volunteer opportunities do you offer?
PEP volunteers primarily assist instructors as classroom tutors. PEP tutors work with adult students one-to-one and in groups (typically two to five students) in the following classes: reading, writing and basic math for persons without a high school diploma and beginning ESL. Some experienced PEP volunteers tutor adults one-to-one, independent of a class.
What training is necessary?
PEP requires that all volunteer classroom tutors complete a 12-hour training series prior to working in the program. Training includes the following topics: PEP orientation, the adult learner, cultural differences, learning/teaching styles, instructional techniques, assessment, materials, resources and lesson planning.
