Are you looking for a way to make a difference in your community? Do you have a passion for helping with the literacy challenges in our neighborhood? Do you enjoy meeting new people?

Then join Newport Beach library’s Project Adult Literacy (PAL) program as a tutor or volunteer and help adult learners develop lifelong reading and writing skills.

We are looking for dedicated community members who can help adults develop reading and writing skills. As a PAL tutor, you'll have the opportunity to interact with Library staff and the public while assisting with a variety of projects and programs. Come join the fun!
