Volunteer: Join as a Literacy Lubbock tutor and provide assistance to individuals whose first language is not English.

  Are you passionate about helping people? Are you interested in facilitating connections within our community? Are you driven to support your neighbors?

We supply all necessary curriculum and materials, along with available training, to ensure you're fully equipped to positively impact your student, their family, and the community!

We'd love to connect with you if you're keen on fostering connectedness, independence, and hope!

We are convinced that the most effective pathway to improving one's circumstances is through education, and we advocate for making this journey accessible, available, and free to all who seek it.

At Literacy Lubbock, we are dedicated to transforming lives and contributing to improving our world through the individuals within our community. We recognize that knowledge is power and are committed to disseminating it far and wide.
