Description

What you’ll be doing

Open the world of reading to a child and become a volunteer tutor!

ONE TO ONE Literacy Society is looking for enthusiastic, compassionate, and open-minded individuals to share the joy of reading with children in their community. Volunteer tutors develop a connection with their readers, which will help them feel successful and confident with their reading skills. 

We Run Two Programs:

  • In-person school tutoring at a local elementary school in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland
  • Virtual after-school tutoring over Zoom

What are the requirements? 

We are looking for community members who are: 

  • Friendly, reliable, and who like to work with children 
  • Aged 18 or over 
  • Available to meet during the school day, at an elementary school in your community, or after-school (4-6 pm) over Zoom
  • Able to commit to weekly shifts for the duration of the school year from October to June or January to June 

Who are the readers? 

Children in grades 1-7 who are not reading at the same level as their peers or could benefit from one-on-one time with a caring literacy tutor.   

No prior tutoring experience is necessary! ONE TO ONE will provide ongoing training opportunities and a network of support.  

It is easy to get started on your volunteer journey:

  • Fill out an application form on our website: https://one-to-one.ca/get-involved/become-a-tutor/ We accept applications on a rolling basis. To participate in our October 2025 cohort, applications should be submitted by Sunday, September 7, 2025. To participate in our February 2026 cohort, applications should be submitted by January 7, 2026.
  • Complete a Criminal Record Check (application on our website)
  • Have a telephone interview with a ONE TO ONE staff member to make sure we are a good match.
  • Orientation and training sessions will be held mid-September to early October 2025; as well as January to mid-February 2026.

Requirements

Whether you meet these requirements or not, we encourage you to share your interest in us. You may still be a fit for a different opportunity with our organization.
