Become a Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in joining Literacy KC’s amazing community of volunteers.

Literacy KC’s volunteers are part of the very fabric of our organization. From tutoring in HiSET or ESL classes and modeling best practices in our family reading program, to making the everyday at our offices go smoothly– volunteers add so much value to our programs.

Perhaps the most impactful way our volunteers contribute to our students’ success, is through the community of mentorship, acceptance, celebration, and encouragement they help build, and in which our students thrive. 

Thank you for your interest in changing lives beyond words. Literacy KC would not be able to do what we do without the dedication and passion of volunteers like you!

Join us to learn about our organization, opportunities to get involved and participate in tutor training for your favorite program! Sign-up for an upcoming Volunteer Orientation HERE.

After orientation you will be asked to complete our volunteer application and a fingerprinting background check.

Once you’ve passed the application process, then you will be ready to start changing lives beyond words!
