How to Become a Tutor

Step 1:
Attend a monthly tutor information session. These are held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, at 5pm, at Bellingham Public Library.

Step 2:
Complete application and meet with a WLC staff member. This is a chance to visit our office, and have a more detailed conversation about your volunteer experience.

Step 3:
Attend a tutor training session. These are held throughout the year. Details will be given out when you meet with a WLC staff member.

Step 4:
Get matched with a waiting learner. Staff will find a time and public location for you to meet that is as convenient as possible for both the tutor and the learner.

Step 5:
Meet with your learner and start working towards their goals! You will meet twice a week for 90 minute sessions.

Step 6:
Keep in touch with WLC through monthly reports!
