Carringbush has a vibrant and professional volunteering program with volunteers currently active in the following roles:
Classroom Volunteers
Volunteers assist students to improve their English language and literacy skills in a range of English as an Additional Language (EAL)classes.
Adult Literacy Tutors
The Carringbush Adult Literacy program supports adults who want to improve their literacy skills. Adult Literacy students come with varying needs, for example: help with the literacy demands of the workplace, study support for vocational courses, or simply basic reading and writing skills which they have missed due to learning difficulties or interrupted schooling.
Digital Literacy Tutors
Volunteer Digital Literacy tutors help students learn important digital literacy skills needed in the English as an Additional Language (EAL) classroom and in their daily lives. The classes are led by a qualified EAL teacher and our classroom digital mentor. Students follow a structured program, designed to build progressively on their skills. The volunteer assists the EAL teacher and mentor by moving around the room and giving students 1:1 support on their iPad or smartphone.
Digital Literacy Mentors
Digital Literacy Mentors support students enrolled in our Digital Essentials program to develop digital literacy skills and confidence by providing individualised tutoring in 45 min sessions, based on students’ learning goals.
