Literacy Program

Literacy Program

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer tutor with Anixter Center’s Jack Ehrlich Literacy Program! Our literacy program helps adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities gain basic literacy skills in a one-to-one setting. Tutors generally meet their learners at a time and location that is mutually convenient.

Literacy tutors are expected to tutor one hour per week for a minimum of three months. Literacy tutors must complete fifteen hours of free training (12 of those hours can be completed online) and pass a background check prior to starting tutoring.

Please fill out the form below and someone will contact you within two business days. If you have any questions, please contact the Literacy Coordinator at literacy@anixter.org
