CURRENTLY THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR TUTORS IN WATERTOWN, JEFFERSON, FORT ATKINSON  AND WATERLOO.

Residents from all over Jefferson County volunteer with adults and families at JCLC in a number of different ways and for a variety of time commitments. As a JCLC volunteer you could:

  • Teach Reading and Writing to adults who are native English speakers
  • Prepare adult learners for the GED
  • Teach English to adult speakers of other languages
  • Prepare learners for the US Citizenship Test
  • Assist with the Family Literacy Program - reading to children, helping with crafts, or assisting jail inmates record a book on tape for their child

Volunteering at JCLC can be a very rewarding experience. It benefits the individuals, families, the community and yourself!

To become a JCLC volunteer, please contact us:
