Volunteer Spotlight: Rachel

Rachel, a graduate of The Literacy Alliance program in Bluffton, seeing a need in her community and becoming passionate about The Literacy Alliance’s mission, came back as a volunteer to help students as a tutor. Tutoring has enhanced her confidence and increased her need to help others. One of the challenges she has faced is relating to people from different life situations, but she says, “giving it all of your heart and having an open mind to understand the students you are working with” makes all the difference.
