We are seeking Classroom Assistant volunteers to assist in English classes at BTC and WCC for the 2025-2026 academic year. Classes are in the morning and evening. The minimum commitment is one class (2 hrs per week) for one academic quarter.
Adult education lifts people out of poverty. Having a GED or a high school diploma means higher salaries, good job opportunities, and better working conditions.
Interested in volunteering your time to support adult literacy and adult basic education in Whatcom County but don't have the time to commit to 1-to-1 tutoring? Would you like to develop your tutoring skills? We are currently looking for volunteers to serve as classroom tutors in the Adult Basic Education, GED, and ESL courses taught at both Bellingham Technical College and Whatcom Community College. This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community that only requires about 2 hours of your time each week for an academic quarter. You will be assisting an instructor, so you don't need to worry about lesson planning - just helping students master the material so they can fulfill their educational goals and improve their lives.
