ESL Coordinator (volunteer position)

The Coordinator serves as a liaison between volunteer literacy tutors and adult literacy students.

Administrative Assistant
(volunteer position)

If you have good attention to detail and want to assist the DLC team in a meaningful way, we can put you to work. Only a few hours a week will help keep the Council organized. Tasks include monitoring emails and phone calls, assisting board members and helping with publicity and advocacy work.

Graphics and IT Specialists
(volunteer positions)

Anyone with experience in graphic design and/or excellent computer skills would be a great asset to the DLC. A graphics specialist would help with flyers, posters, photo work and the like on a periodic basis. An IT specialist would assist with our website, social media and computer maintenance. The time commitment is only several hours per month (unless we grow by leaps and bounds)!

Board of Directors and
Advisory Council Members
(volunteer positions)

We are continually looking for people interested in serving on the Dare Literacy Council board of directors. Board members attend approximately seven monthly meetings per year and are responsible for overseeing the various literacy programs, determining policy, assisting with fundraising and advocating for literacy. Members are asked to serve in the capacity that most interests them (e.g., training, publicity, fundraising, finance) and no education-related background is necessary to serve on the board.

Advisory members are those who bring a special expertise to the Council, in areas such as law, finance, education, publicity, events, administration, etc.
