Volunteers and students meet at Adult Education and Literacy class sites during regular hours. The schedule depends on areas of interest and student needs. Average volunteer time is 2-3 hours per week.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/IdUdZrd0U7Y&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_tta_accordion active_section=&#8221;false&#8221; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Volunteer Opportunities&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1448993377043-4468f283-191b&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Volunteer<\/h4>\n<p>Volunteer positions are available in the following counties: Greene, Taney, Christian, Polk, Dallas and Laclede.
