Tutoring benefits include the satisfaction of helping others
learn, learning as a tutor, and getting to know a learner and
about the customs in his or her native country. Tutors need to be
patient adults who like to work with other adults.
Tutors should be available for one to two hours per week for
multiple weeks. Tutors work in the area of their interest (English reading, writing, and speaking; basic math; or computer
skills). Training is provided for each area of interest. Tutoring times
and locations are arranged between the tutor and the learner.

Volunteers can help with short or long term projects such as the
Stone Soup Food Centre and
Community Bookshelves. They can also drop in as
guests to interact with learners in the English conversation
classes.
Volunteers can help in planning and preparing or in running an
event such as
Family Literacy Day (January),
Love Reading (February),
Earth Day Happenings (April), and our
bi-yearly garage sales.
We also need volunteers to help us fundraise by working at the
Festival of Speed (February) and the
Festival of Trees (November).
