For a long time I was on an island of illiteracy. I am very glad to have good people here at Indy Reads. I can't thank you enough for helping me off that island.

Learning to read is like coming out of darkness into the light. My whole life has changed. I can do anything now for myself.

Consider the following ways you can help make a difference in someone's life:
- Literacy Tutors meet one-on-one or with a small group to help adult students to improve their reading, writing and spelling skills.
- English as a Second Language (ESL) Tutors work with a small group of students on speaking, understanding, and writing English.
- Student Interviewers make the first contact with potential students and administer assessments to determine the reading and speaking level of students.
- Computer Lab Consultants help students and their tutors use reading, writing and English instructional software tools in our computer lab.
- Additional Volunteer Opportunities exist such as office helpers, board membership, serving on a committee, or helping with fairs and events.
- Indy Reads Contributors make financial donations that helps Indy reads continue to provide free adult literacy services. Donate today!
Indy Reads asks volunteers, especially tutors, to make a one-year commitment to the program. Tutors and students usually meet twice a week for 1-1/2 hours; tutoring schedules are based on times and days most convienient for both. Tutoring takes place at Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library branches or public places.
Interested volunteers are invited to attend one of our monthly orientations to learn more about Indy Reads and the volunteer opportunities available. To register for our next orientation, call 317-275-4040.
