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.

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.
