What can you do to support adult education?

Volunteer Appreciation Night 2019

Improving education in the Dayton area is truly a team effort, and we need your help.

Whether you have a teaching background or not, whether you can give one hour a week or ten, there's a place for you here at the BLC. 

BLC volunteers come from many walks of life: engineers, teachers, nurses, research analysts, accountants, homemakers, carpenters, mechanics, and artists. A tutor’s background does not matter as much as possessing a sincere willingness to help others.

​Our tutors are:

• Dedicated people who enjoy sharing their gifts and knowledge
• Compassionate individuals who understand others’ needs
• Respectful partners who are willing to be flexible in their tutoring methods and plans for meeting their students' educational goals

There are plenty of ways you can help. In addition to tutoring, some of our volunteer needs include:

• Fundraising
• Custodial/General cleaning help
• Reception/Secretarial help
• Data Entry
• Special Events

Please complete and submit the Volunteer Application linked above. Applications will be accepted prior to or on your orientation date.

We do encourage you to submit your application ahead of time, as all volunteers must agree to a background check (at no cost to you), and it does take a little time to get the results back. You will not be able to begin volunteering before the BLC has received the results of your background check.

When you have completed your application, you can send it to us a number of ways:

• Mail it or bring it to the BLC in person (4825 Salem Ave, Dayton, OH 45416)
• Attach it to your Orientation Registration Form (above)
• Email it to BLC Office Coordinator, Chelsie Truax, at ctruax@brunnerliteracy.org.
