Literacy Volunteer Opportunities

The Riverside County Library System’s Literacy Services are made possible through the generous dedication and passion of our volunteer tutors. Our volunteer tutors provide an invaluable service to our communities in providing reading, writing, digital, and/or job assistance.

Volunteer support may include:

Tutoring adults one-on-one (in-person and/or online)
Leading small group classes
Program promotion in the community
And more!

Literacy volunteer tutors must be 18 or older. Check out our FAQs for more Literacy volunteer information.

Interested volunteers may contact Literacy at (951) 685-6901 for additional information as well.
