Volunteer Tutor Program

Parkdale Project Read is a member of the West TO Literacy Collaborative. We train volunteers who are interested in working with adult literacy learners in our west Toronto neighbourhoods.

Parkdale Project Read accepts volunteer applications all year round. We are currently seeking dedicated volunteers (aged 19 and over) to support adult literacy learners to develop their reading, writing, numeracy, and digital literacy skills. We welcome volunteers from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

How to Apply

Please complete the Volunteer Tutor Application. or you may download the application form in PDF or Word formats below and submit to [email protected]. Our next round of tutor training starts on October 19, 2026. Applicants selected for an interview will be contacted approximately a month prior to tutor training. Following the interview, if selected, prospective tutors will be required to attend four 2.5 hour tutor training sessions offered by the WestTO Literacy Collaborative. Attendance is mandatory to become a tutor at Parkdale Project Read.
