• LDAWC Volunteer Tutor Application Form for Reading Rocks Program

  • OUR MISSION STATEMENT

    The Learning Disabilities Association of Wellington County (LDAWC) is a charitable, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth and adults with learning disabilities so that they can reach their full potential.

     

    BECOMING A READING ROCKS VOLUNTEER TUTOR

    LDAWC is looking for enthusiastic, committed, motivated people who would like to be positive role models. You must also have excellent oral and written English language skills, as Reading Rocks is a reading/literacy program.

    You must be a minimum of 16 years old to apply to tutor.

    All new tutors must attend a mandatory training/orientation session that will be held roughly 1-2 weeks before the program begins. The time commitment for this opportunity is 2 evenings a week one-on-one tutoring (1 hour each evening) for a total of 16 sessions, plus approximately 1 hour per week outside of program hours for activity preparation. 

    Volunteers are expected to attend all scheduled sessions they commit to whenever possible. Consistent attendance is important for building relationships and supporting student success.

    All tutors aged 18+ must have a current Police Vulnerable Sector Check clearance issued within one year of the start of the program.
