Free Tutor Training Workshops
Have you ever felt the urge to become
involved in helping people in need of
basic skills but did not feel that you had
the necessary training? If so, you should
consider attending one of the free tutor

the month of June.
Each of these workshops begins at 5

Here is that chance to respond to that urge
to help someone else.
The workshops will be held on the
following dates: Tuesday, June 17;
Thursday, June 19; Tuesday, June 24 and

tutor.
