Mason County Literacy
needs north-end tutors
Mason County Literacy is hoping
to expand its literacy programs in
North Mason. In order to expand the
program, though, volunteers will be
needed to help adult learners in the
Beffair area.
The group's literacy volunteers
help in one of two ways. They may
work with people who are learning
English in the English as a Second
Language (ESL) program co-spon-
sored by Mason County Literacy
and Olympic College. They may also
work one-on-one with adult learners
who want to get a high-school equiv-
alency by obtaining a GED. Mason
County Literacy provides training
for tutors in both the GED and ESL
programs.
For anyone interested in tutoring
ESL students, the Olympic College
instructor for the ESL class provides
guidance, advice and teaching ma-
terials to the tutors. The Olympic
College class is held every week at
the Belfair Boys and Girls Club from
6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Mondays and
Wednesdays.
THE OLYMPIC College instruc-
tor can use volunteers to assist her
in teaching the students who have
varying skill levels in English. The
adult learners enrolled in the liter-
acy program come from all over the
world, including Russia, Vietnam,
Morocco, Mexico and Guatemala. Of-
ficials say that tutoring is a great op-
portunity to meet people from other
countries and learn about their cul-
tures and languages while helping
them learn English.

generally meet their adult learners
at the North Mason Timberland Re-

with them in one of the library's con-
ference rooms. Mason County Lit-

the library for tutors to use.
Officials say that the adult learn-
ers who come to the program need
help mostly with grammar, spelling,
writing, reading and math. Organiz-
ers note that many of the program's
adult learners are finding that it's
difficult to get a job without a high-
school diploma or a GED and they
are looking for someone to help them
complete their high-school educa-
tion.
"YOU CAN HELP your neigh-

knowledge and your time with them
through the Mason County Literacy
tutoring programs," said Suzanne
Stevens, Mason County Literacy's
Adult Program Coordinator.

teer for the ESL or GED programs
(or both) should contact Mason
County Literacy in Belfair by call-
