Volunteer Tutor Program

Our dedicated team of volunteer tutors provide one-to-one support to adult literacy learners. PPR accepts volunteer applications all year round and offers Tutor Training sessions 3-4 times a year.

We have adapted our in-person training to a virtual format. It is organized in partnership with Alexandra Park Neighbourhood Learning Centre, Davenport Perth Neighbourhood & Community Health Centre, LAMP-CHC, West Neighbourhood House and Parkdale Project Read.

The focus of the training is:

To frame teaching and learning through an anti-oppression lens and learner-centred approach

To provide tools needed to build non-judgemental, trauma-informed partnerships
To identify socio-political barriers to learning and share educational resources

To develop self-awareness, empathy, active listening skills

We accept volunteer applications all year round. Here's how to apply:
