Volunteer Obituaries

We are deeply saddened by the loss of two of our beloved volunteers. We are so grateful for their contributions to Literacy Source and they will be missed.

Kyle

Kyle was a valued part of the Literacy Source community for over 9 years, donating over 1,000 hours to tutoring and as a class assistant. She was a truly caring and thoughtful volunteer and the students loved working with her. She was one of the few tutors who tutored two students at the same time, neither of them wanted to give her up! Later on in her service she transitioned into the Citizenship program. These students need a special kind of tutor who can help them to be ready to take an interview and a test in English when the stakes are high. Kyle was that kind of special. It was a good thing when we could match a student with Kyle. She was steady, consistent, kind and focused. She was especially skilled with students who were lower-level English speakers. She helped many people become citizens. We miss her.

3. Why did you choose to volunteer at LS?

I originally chose to volunteer at Literacy Source because of my love for education as well as writing. Both my parents were teachers and I feel like it’s a wonderful vocation that lets you have a real impact. I also love reading and writing and have been part of various creative writing workshops in Seattle over the years. LS allows me to be part of the community while doing something that I love, which is a great combination.

4. What do you like about volunteering at LS?

One of the things I love most about LS is that it’s aimed at adults in the community who are trying to improve their lives. It’s a privilege to help people, many of whom immigrated from other countries, in improving their English, getting a GED, or improving their computer skills.

5. Any stories or highlights from volunteering at LS?

I don’t know if I have any particular highlights. I’ve enjoyed every class I've helped teach, and there've been great conversations over the years about Seattle, society, and English grammar.

6. What might people not know about you?

I don’t know if I have any particularly interesting tidbits. I love making pottery and have taken a bunch of classes over the years. My dream is to have a home studio one day to make my own pots. My wife and I also got two kittens last year, who are now about a year old and quite large! They’re two brothers who are equal parts stubborn and sweet.
