Lincoln Land Community College is seeking volunteers to assist adults in improving their reading, math or English-language skills.
The LLCC Adult Education and Literacy department provides free training to potential volunteer tutors. Those wishing to volunteer may call 217-786-2572.
“This is a great way to help individuals in your community move forward!” says Jamil Steele, director of adult education and literacy at LLCC. “We are recruiting volunteers from all areas within the LLCC district, which includes the Springfield campus and Outreach Centers in Jacksonville, Beardstown, Taylorville and Litchfield.”
LLCC was recently awarded a $64,531 Adult Volunteer Literacy Grant from the Secretary of State/Illinois State Library Literacy Office to offer training and opportunities for increased literacy among the citizens of the district.
