Salt Lake County’s CAT Program (Community Access to Technology) is  currently recruiting Volunteer Literacy Tutors for their free Literacy Program at Northwest CAT Lab.   Salt Lake County CAT operates free computer labs for the public, at four locations in the Valley:

Northwest CAT Lab     1300 W 300 N, SLC    801-793-8737

Central City CAT Lab  615 S 300 E, SLC    801-559-1563

Redwood CAT Lab   3100 S Redwood Road, SLC

Copperview CAT Lab  8446 S Harrison St., Midvale

                                        801-559-1506

The program is offered Mondays/Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 and 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.  The time commitment would be 1-2 hours, twice a week, for 10 weeks.  Tutors would spend 20-25 minutes reading with a child, and 20-25 minutes helping them with computerized learning games during each session. 

At the close of each 10-week session, the kids, families and tutors attend a special graduation event.  Each child receives a completion certificate, is invited to address the crowd, and given literacy-related gifts, etc. Games and refreshments complete the evening.
