Volunteer: Change a Life as a Literacy for Life Tutor!

Since 1975, Literacy for Life has empowered adult learners' lives in Williamsburg through skill-building classes and personalized tutoring. In 2024, we expanded to Hampton and Newport News, extending our impact across the region.

We're seeking volunteers in Hampton to tutor adult learners in reading, writing, math, English language, computer skills, workforce prep, and more. No teaching experience or second language is required—just a commitment, a positive attitude, and a desire to make a difference.

Why Volunteer?
Tutoring is rewarding and life-changing! Tutors consistently share that they gain more than they give, making this a truly enriching experience. Meanwhile, with the help of their individual tutors, adult learners achieve personal goals that group classes may not address. Everyone benefits: the tutor, the learner, their families, and our community.

Who? Learners are local adults who desire to build their basic skills to support their families, obtain better jobs, pursue education and training opportunities, and share their talents with the community. Some are immigrants who need stronger English to thrive in the United States, while others are Americans with educational gaps.

What? Tutors provide one-to-one or small group instruction in reading, writing, math, English language, computer skills, workforce preparation, financial literacy, and more. The type of tutoring you do depends upon your skills and interests.

When? Tutors and learners meet weekly at a mutually convenient time. We will find a match that fits your schedule.

Where? Pairs meet at a mutually convenient public location or online. Locations include the Literacy for Life offices along with libraries, churches, and other community spaces.

How? We equip you to succeed! Tutors complete a New Tutor Training series, then receive ongoing support through individual consultation, in-service workshops, a resource library, and referral to online resources. Staff recommend appropriate teaching materials based on the learner’s skills and goals.

Time Commitment:

Approximately 7 hours of New Tutor Training: 5 hours in-person or live online, with an additional 1-2 hours self-paced onlineAn average of 1.5 hours per week for tutoring, with additional preparation timeSuggested minimum commitment of 6 months because education takes time

Join us and be the heart of our mission—empowering learners to thrive in life and work!

Volunteer: Mentor a young person - become a Big!

For over 60 years, BBBS has been defending the potential of future leaders in the community by matching youth (Littles) with committed adult mentors (Bigs). These relationships – strategically matched based on Littles’ needs and Bigs’ backgrounds and skills, as well as common interests, aspirations, and personalities – empower Littles to achieve success in life and become productive members of the community.

After completing an orientation and interview, a volunteer Big is matched to a Little. Together, the match explores their shared interests by engaging with the community around them. Maybe you'll go bike riding, or hiking, or you'll explore new recipes together. Maybe you'll teach your Little to create a budget by doing groceries together, or maybe you'll share your love of animals by volunteering at an animal shelter. Each match is unique and we work to make strong, long-lasting, professionally supported matches.

Matches meet about 2-3 times per month, for at least one year. As a Big, you will work closely with your BBBS Match Support Specialist who is there to support you along your match.

BBBS will match Bigs and Littles in close proximity throughout Newport News, Hampton, Yorktown, Williamsburg and surrounding communities.

Volunteer: Volunteer Driver

If you're looking for a way to safely make an impact on a local senior's life, we've got just the opportunity for you. We're currently in need of additional volunteer drivers to help transport seniors from their door to their medical appointments. Volunteering as a driver requires calling the senior beforehand to arrange a pick up time, showing up at their home at the arranged time, and safely transporting them to their appointment. While they are in their appointment, the driver will wait and then safely transport them home.

Transportation is provided with the safety and health of our seniors and volunteers in mind. Each person wears a mask for the duration of the ride and we ask that the senior sit in the backseat on the passenger side to maintain as much distance as possible. If there is a need for physical assistance helping the senior get in or out of the car, we do our best to make that known ahead of time. 

Whether you can commit one hour every other week or three hours per week, we'd love to have you. Thanks for you consideration, and please tag a friend who you think would be interested! Virtual training and mileage reimbursement is available.
