VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES & WORKSHOPS


Volunteering

If you are 18 years of age or older, have a high school diploma or the equivalent, speak English and have the desire to help others have better lives then we have a place for you at the Yuma Reading Council.(YRC).

Tutoring is a very rewarding job. You will have the potential to have a life-changing effect on another person. At YRC many people are helped in our classes and by our volunteer tutors. For example, one student wrote, "I am so happy because I found this place to learn English. I am coming since March 1999 and I am learning a lot. I am so happy because some day I am going to be able to work." Now that says it all!

Give us a call today and sign up for our next Tutor Training Workshop.

Volunteers are:

  • Valuable for all you are and all you do
  • Open to trying new things
  • Loyal and reliable day after day
  • Untiring in your willingness to help
