Our volunteers, in their various roles, are essential to the success of NRLC. We have approximately 80 volunteer tutors (who assist up to 100 learners each year); the Board of Directors has a maximum of sixteen volunteer members; other volunteers are involved in fund raising and other supportive activities. Some volunteers may be active in all of these categories.
