One of our local stations is great about that. In second place are responses to free classified-type announcements in small, weekly newspapers--the kind that you pick up for free outside of restuarants. We have also had response to our website and are about to experiment with asking existing "corporate" volunteers to post requests on their inter-office e-mail We get a lot of college students, but find them unreliable to the commitment of tutoring. They are great for quick, one-time projects. We rarely have luck with the high-labor mall display or community "fair", and have stopped doing them. Radio also less effective. We have had several churches do literacy projects by recruiting batches of volunters all from the same congregation. Tell us more about the south central conference. I'm pretty new.
