that was fun
I've missed tutoring. I was a literacy tutor back in Ohio, and helped a woman go from learning her ABCs all the way to getting her GED. I also took an elective in coordinating literacy programs in library school. But ever since I moved here fifteen years ago, I've had a hard time finding a program to work with. AAMOF, I had a run-in with a local literacy organization pretty much guaranteed to discourage a potential tutor, which is when I gave up looking altogether.
Until last month. I was visiting a local museum, the Job Carr Cabin (http://www.jobcarrmuseum.org/) and talking with the docent on duty, when she happened to mention her other volunteer gig, working with the Read2Me organization (http://www.read2me.org/). When I got home I called, a week later I went to the orientation meeting, and today was my first tutoring session.
This is going to be great fun. The little girl I'm working with is sweet and smart and very shy, and the program itself is well-structured and interesting and looks like it will be very productive. The coordinator is a nice lady, too.
I am so happy to be tutoring again. I didn't realize how much I'd missed it.
Sigh.
