The Adult Literacy Program matches adults interested in improving their skill in a topic area with a one-on-one tutor to partner with them to achieve their goal.   Tutor/student pairs will meet twice each week for 60-minute tutoring sessions.  Tutors will participate in an orientation meeting with the Adult Literacy Program Manager, a 4-hour training session and occasional tutor group meetings.

Tutors work with their students on a variety of topic areas including reading, writing, math, English as a second language (ESL), GED study and test preparation, citizenship/naturalization, basic computer skills, obtaining a driver’s license and much more. Please refer to the BMAC Adult Literacy page for more information.

The Walla Walla Asset Building Coalition (WWABC) is a team of volunteers representing city government, non-profit agencies, financial institutions and interested citizens who focus on providing information and education on topics of financial literacy/empowerment.  With a mission to help Walla Walla Valley residents build greater financial security for themselves and their families, the WWABC is involved in a number of outreach programs from assisting folks to obtain bank accounts to offering financial literacy courses, to promoting information such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and free tax preparation.

The WWABC meets the first Wednesday of the month from 3-4 p.m.  Other than the monthly meeting, coalition members volunteer to work on outreach projects as their time and talents allow.

BMAC is the host of a new regional office for the Washington State Long-Term Care Ombuds Program (LTCOP). This program provides effective, visible advocacy for residents in long-term care facilities.

A certified Ombuds is a volunteer, observer, listener, detective, communicator, and problem-solver who advocates for residents in long-term care facilities. Each volunteer receives extensive free training and support.

Our volunteers find that they enjoy knowing that their volunteer work makes a critical difference in the lives of vulnerable people. Volunteer Ombuds work to protect residents’ rights and dignity, ensure quality care and prevent neglect, abuse, and other issues.

To learn more about becoming a volunteer, inquire here. For any other questions or concerns, please contact Nisrine at 509-520-5162 or nisrined@bmacww.org.
