Goodwill Seeks Volunteer GED Tutors
ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. – Goodwill is seeking volunteer tutors to help former offenders prepare for the GED exam. Volunteers will work one-on-one with Goodwill corrections clients who are taking GED classes but need additional help to improve reading, math and other skills covered by the exam.
Tutoring will take place at Goodwill’s residential work-release centers in St. Petersburg and Clearwater – 10596 Gandy Blvd., next to Derby Lane in St. Petersburg, and 16432 U. S. Hwy. 19 N. in Clearwater.
Goodwill community corrections programs help non-violent offenders find employment and develop the skills they need to successfully reintegrate into society.
To learn more about volunteering as a GED tutor, please call the Goodwill Corrections Department, (727) 523-1512, ext. 1501.
