Literacy Outreach seeks volunteers



Literacy Outreach is seeking volunteers to tutor adults learning basic literacy skills. Some adults struggle to read and write. Some struggle to improve their oral English skills. No special skills are required, and you do not need to speak a foreign language. If you can read this, you can help.

To learn more about volunteer opportunities, attend a meeting from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4, at the Literacy Outreach office, 1127 School St. in Glenwood Springs; or from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6, at the New Castle Library, 402 West Main St. Call 970-945-5282 to learn more.
