GIVE THE GIFT OF LITERACY, BECOME A VOLUNTEER TUTOR. Nearly one in five Mercer County residents was born outside the US, and more than one in four speak a language other than English at home. They need your help! We will train you and match you with someone who needs to improve their reading, writing, speaking and understanding skills.  Your service starts with our 15 hour training course. The next one is scheduled to start on September 11, details below.  After completing the training you will be matched with a student (all of our students are adults) who needs your help. You and your student will meet at one of the Mercer County libraries at least once a week for about two hours.  Thanks for being a community builder!
