| Here are four important ways you can help Racine Family Literacy |
| Mentor |
| Volunteer |
| Help celebrate National Family Literacy Day |
Mentoring involves working one on one with a
child age 9-14, on a consistent enough schedule to
develop a relationship. Most of our children are
well behaved, well adjusted kids. What they do
need is someone to talk to them about things their
family may not know about--going to college,
careers, the world, etc.

| Tutor |
Tutoring is a great way to get to know
someone with a completely different life
experience. RFL has students from the
Middle East, Mexico, Honduras, etc.
Although most of Racine Family Literacy's
adult students are taught in classes,
occasionally RFL needs help with "special"
students. These can be pre-literacy adults
who need one on one help to learn the
alphabet--we have computer program to do
this--but they also need help with the program
and computer. Or they can be high level
students who may need tutoring on math,
science, or other topics while working on a
GED.
RFL asks tutors to commit to at least 6
months.
