Each year, more than 270 metro-area volunteers assist the professional staff with one-on-one tutoring. They are paraprofessional tutors, trained and supervised by our professional staff to provide personalized, planned instruction and mentoring to their assigned adult learners. These volunteer tutors include corporate executives, assembly line workers, retired professionals, trained educators, professionals from all fields, and successful, change-oriented citizens. This positive relationship benefits, not only the learners, but also the tutors. As our community volunteers participate in cross-generational and cross-cultural teaching, they, too, broaden their horizons and develop positive attitudes to better relate to people from diverse cultural, economic, and social backgrounds.

In total, approximately 360 volunteers annually offer their services in the following areas: tutoring, fundraising, establishing / maintaining functional computers, assisting with clerical/maintenance tasks, and providing professional and legal services.

In 1999, the Milwaukee Achiever Literacy Services VOLUNTEERS received a JCPenney Golden Rule Award for their outstanding service to the Milwaukee community. The award was presented at Volunteer Celebration ‘99, a recognition dinner and ceremony hosted by the JCPenney Company, TODAY’S TMJ4, and the Volunteer Center of Greater Milwaukee.

Volunteers are needed in all areas, especially tutoring. Volunteers willing to become tutors of adult learners are asked to make a minimum commitment of two hours per week for six months.

Free training is provided on a flexible training schedule.
