A Washtenaw Literacy mentor is a dedicated volunteer who has tutored for at least one year and has decided they would like to help support other tutors. There are three areas the mentors assist staff: traditional mentoring, workshops, and events.

Each new group of tutors is assigned a traditional mentor. This mentor will be available to new tutors for questions, etc. They will check in monthly in the beginning of a placement.

These mentors coordinate and plan topic specific workshops for tutors and learners throughout the year. This includes the yearly daylong workshop called Power Tutoring.

These mentors coordinate and plan events for tutors and learners throughout the year. This includes the yearly Celebration of Learning Potluck and Tutor Socials.
