Volunteer: Assist in tutoring an adult as they embark on their journey of learning to read for the first time!If you're reading this, you're doing better than 13% of our community. Sadly, 1 out of every 8 people living in Lubbock County are illiterate. But you can help!
We're on the lookout for ABE (adult basic education) volunteers to help teach our adult students how to read! You'll be working one-on-one with a singular student to help them learn how to read.

From text messages to articles, from social media to newspapers, people need to read. And you can help them achieve that goal. Literacy Lubbock was established in 1989 as a local nonprofit dedicated to helping adults learn how to read. Since then, we've helped more than 7,000 people in the Hub City learn how to read, get their GED, or learn English as a second language and we've distributed more than 50,000 children's books. Our mission and goal is simple: to support and execute programs that enable people to become literate. Because at the end of the day, we believe education and literacy levels are the root cause for a lot of today's problems. Literacy has a weighty impact on nearly every socio-economic issue plaguing us today, from prison rates, health, employment, poverty levels, and so on. The surest way for a person to improve their circumstances is by improving their education, and we believe that journey should be accessible, available, and free to any who want it.
