For about eight months, I volunteered at the Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House as a Family Literacy Outreach tutor. Instead of going into family homes like most of tutors, I was part of a Saturday morning group of tutors who all met at MPNH to do group literacy tutoring (45 min) and individual literacy tutoring (45 min). I had the same mentee for the entire term though I substituted once-in-a-while for other tutors when my mentee was away. Occasionally I would lead the group literacy tutoring, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

If you have any questions about this program, I encourage you go to their website and learn more. They’re always looking for tutors!
