Are you interested in building a Legacy?

Get ready to start a fulfilling and rewarding adventure as a tutor with The Legacy Center!

Tutoring at The Legacy Center offers you a chance to become a mentor and guide for our learners. By developing strong relationships and creating a supportive environment, you can inspire and motivate them to overcome challenges and develop crucial life skills. Your influence will extend far beyond our office, empowering individuals to become confident, independent learners, and instilling a love for learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.

As a tutor, you will embark on a journey of constant self-improvement. Each tutoring session will present new challenges, stimulating your intellect and deepening your understanding of the subjects you teach. You will have the privilege of witnessing the transformation of your learners into confident, accomplished members of our community. You will also enhance your communication and leadership skills.

Our volunteers provide one-on-one tutoring to individuals from Midland, Bay, and surrounding counties. Training is required, which can be completed online or in person. All materials and training are free of charge. We ask that volunteers commit to working with one learner for two hours per week for one year. Tutors can specialize in Reading, Math, English as a Second Language, or Workforce Readiness Skills. A background check is required.

Tutors Make A REAL Difference

You’re not just changing their reading, but you’re changing who they are and who they want to be. We, as parents, appreciate everything [TLC tutors] do, day in and day out.

I have been tutoring my current learner for almost three years . . . during this time, I’ve seen him grow in confidence and a more positive attitude toward reading and school, in general . . . This is why we continue our volunteer work as tutors: to witness the growth in confidence and positive attitude in our learners. Sometimes it is slow – months or even years. But this investment in time and support changes lives, and I’m happy to volunteer for The Legacy Center.

My first experience as a tutor for the Barton Reading & Spelling Program has been such a great surprise! In the beginning, it was hard to get [my learner] to engage in any book beyond looking at the pictures. I have seen the self confidence and trust of this student improve over the past year. They have independently read five books, excitedly bringing each book back to tell me about each story! Sharing this experience of the pure joy they find in reading has been beyond rewarding for them, as well as me!
