WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME A VOLUNTEER MEMBER OF THE LITERACY TASK FORCE OF NORTHERN WISCONSIN? You are needed to work as a team member to accomplish small tasks that have a big impact in helping people in our local northern Wisconsin communities to improve their opportunities to have a better life through improving reading and spelling skills.
Additional Requirements: All volunteers are appreciated. There are several ways a person can help. One on one tutoring would require a multisensory background in teaching reading. (we offer beginning or advanced courses each year) We have newsletters that go out twice per year, which requires maintaining an updated database, folding, and stamping the newsletters. People who having a good working knowledge of setting up databases could help us more effectively match trained tutors to needy students. There is also a need for running off materials for classes we host, mailings, annual meetings and flyers. We pass out materials through out the communities so having volunteers in each of the towns would be extremely helpful and not very time consuming for each individual.
