Volunteer Spotlight

Ian Sack

Ian started tutoring at Literacy Advance in 2004. A very committed ESL tutor, he donated over 1,100 volunteer hours between 2004 and 2011.

Ian recently decided to continue his volunteering at a location closer to his home. We're sorry to lose him but so grateful for the difference he made in so many lives!

~ What brought you to Literacy Advance?

I wanted to help others, and one day volunteer for the Peace Corps. I thought this would be good experience.

~ What do you enjoy most about volunteering?

The rapport I developed with my students, learning about different cultures, and seeing the improvement made by students.

~ What would you say to other people thinking about volunteering?

Teaching others energizes you, and you get tremendous satisfaction seeing your students grow in confidence and ability.

Thank you so much, Ian!
