The Tacoma Area Literacy Council provides free assistance in basic literacy and english as a second language to adults through the use of volunteer tutors. Potential tutors need not be professional teachers, just have a desire to help others learn to read. The next 3-day tutor training workshop will be held October 19 and 21 (9:30am-3:30pm) and October 23 (9:30am-1pm) in University Place at Community of Christ Church (6912 40th St. West). For more information (or to register) call 253-272-2471.
