Palo Alto Library 2415 University Ave. Project Read is the adult literacy program of San Mateo County Library. We believe literacy allows individuals to make informed decisions and to access information about events that affect their lives.
Tutors are volunteers who devote their time and literacy skills to help people reach their goals.
They are patient, flexible, respectful, non-judgmental and often have a good sense of humor. They must be 18 years or older and must complete 19 hours of FREE training. We ask that volunteers commit to a minimum of 9 months and 3 hours a week. Adults who come to Project Read have the desire to improve their basic skills. Literacy students decide what they want to learn, and when and where they want to meet with their tutor.
