2023-24 Teton Literacy Center Volunteer Application

Teton Literacy Center Volunteer Application

2023-24 School Year
Mid-Year Update

The matching period for volunteer K-12 Literacy Tutors and Adult ESL tutors has closed for the 2023-24 school year. If you are interested in volunteering for the remainder of the year, please continue to fill out this application and we will contact you if an opportunity opens up.

Volunteer opportunities for the 2024-25 school year will officially open in August 2024. A new application form will be created and posted on tetonliteracy.org.

Please contact Anna (anna@tetonliteracy.org) if you have any questions.

Volunteer Expectations

All volunteers must notify staff at least 24 hours in advance if they are unable to make their scheduled time.

Tutoring and ESL require a weekly commitment for the entire school year. Tutoring will run weekly from September 18th to June 6th. ESL will run weekly from October 2nd to June 6th. TLC also follows the TCSD school calendar, and will not have programs on federal holidays or the weeks of Thanksgiving, winter break or spring break. Find the full calendar here: 2023-24 TCSD Calendar.

If your weekly schedule will change due to sports, travel, work or school later in the year, please know these two programs will not be a good fit unless you can find another TLC volunteer (a parent, sibling or friend) to reliably cover for you during the entire time you are gone. A replacement volunteer must also complete the entire TLC volunteer application process.

Tutoring and ESL volunteers with more than three unexcused abscenses (no call, no shows) may be asked to move to a different program that requires less of a committment.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us.

Wyoming Mandated Reporter Law
Wyoming state law mandates that any individual over the age of 18 who suspects child/vulnerable adult abuse, neglect or exploitation is required to report their observations.

At TLC, this is extremely rare, but in the instance that you do suspect a student is at risk, you are required to inform a TLC staff member of your observations, or if a student makes a disclosure to you. The TLC staff will then document your observation and work with the family to connect them with resources, including the Department of Family Services, as needed.

For more information about the Mandatory Reproting laws in Wyoming, and possibe signs of abuse and neglect, please read through our manual on our website:
TLC Mandated Reporter Manual.
I understand that I am not required to make the formal report, but I am responsible for communicating with a TLC staff member any suspicions about the physical and emotional safety of the student(s) I am working with.
