Community Action Southwest is recruiting volunteers in Washington and Greene counties to tutor students in its Adult Education Program. The program is designed to help residents 17 or older obtain their GED and/or increase their learning skills so they may enroll in a trade school or college or gain employment.

Volunteers are needed to assist Pennsylvania-Certified Teachers with classes in Burgettstown, Carmichaels, Donora, Washington and Waynesburg. Classes are held on various days and times each week in those communities. Volunteers also can assist with tutoring students outside of the classroom through individual sessions at area libraries.

Training will be provided and volunteers will be asked to tutor students in subjects in which they are comfortable ranging from reading, writing, spelling and math. Volunteers must either have a bachelor’s degree or be actively pursuing a four-year degree at a college or university.

For more information or to volunteer, call Chris at 1-877-814-0788, ext. 528.
