Volunteers

 At Bridgerland Literacy we match volunteer tutors with a student and provide them with tutoring materials and a place to conduct tutoring sessions. We expect our tutors to meet with their student 2 hours every week. Usually this is accomplished by meeting twice a week for a 1-hour session.

Requirements include:

• Age 18 or over
• Ability to read, write, and understand English fluently
• Passing a background check
• A commitment to meeting two hours a week

Volunteer opportunities may also be available for student interns with experience in social media and individuals interested in helping with fund raisers and recruitment for the program. Special projects may be possible upon further inquiry.

Get started by contacting our office at (435) 750-3262. You are also welcome to stop by our office at the Bridgerland Technical College West Campus at 1410 N. 1000 W. in Logan but please call or email ahead to ensure that someone will be available. Office hours are by arrangement during COVID.
