Northwest Wisconsin CEP seeks tutors to meet with adults who want to improve their literacy skills. Individuals interested in tutoring will receive training to deliver student-centered education, which is provided free of charge. Tutors are matched with learners and meet regularly in mutually agreed upon public locations such as a library, job center or coffee shop. In addition to reading, writing, math and computer skills, tutors can also help navigate online job applications, set up a budget, attain the GED or HSED, prepare to enter college, create a resume, write letters and more. They may also help English language learners with reading, writing and conversation skills. Tutors are needed in the following counties: Ashland, Douglas, Sawyer and Washburn. Contact Laura Sullivan, regional manager at Northwest Wisconsin CEP, at 715-392-6127 or email lsullivan@nwcep.org.

Arrowhead RSVP seeks volunteers. RSVP stands for Retired and Senior Volunteer Program and is under the AmeriCorps Seniors umbrella. RSVP is for those “55 and better” who want to serve and give back to their community. Since most volunteers are retired, they have the valuable commodities of not only time, but also a lifetime of experience and skills. In the Duluth area, Arrowhead RSVP partners with nonprofits such as hospitals, Meals on Wheels, nursing homes, food shelves, tourist sites and supports their mission through volunteerism. If you are interested in learning more about the many different opportunities for service within Arrowhead RSVP, call Kirsten Ryden at 218-409-5991.
