Instruction is individualized to meet each learner's personal goals. All tutors are volunteers. Neither tutors nor students are charged for any Alliance service or program. The Alliance depends wholly upon contributions and grants to operate. Volunteers must be at least 18, have a high school diploma, and agree to adhere to Alliance policies.
Students receive followup support from the student coordinator.
Volunteer tutors attend an intensive training workshop. Continuing support is provided through a monthly newsletter, a resource library and in-service training seminars. To begin the process, students call 426-7323 and make an appointment for an informal interview and assessment. Tutoring services are free and confidential. After this initial meeting, a student is matched with a trained volunteer tutor.
