Classes are being held in person and on Zoom.
Our Mission
The mission of our ESL program is to help adults in the community learn English so that language is not an obstacle to understanding, opportunity and unity.
How Does the Program Work?
Volunteer tutors work one-on-one or with small groups a minimum of 90 minutes per week. Tutors may also choose to lead informal conversation classes. Dates and times are determined by the tutor and student(s).
What are the Prerequisites?
All tutors will participate in a 10-hour training workshop plus additional homework.
No formal teaching or foreign language experience is required. We ask only for your enthusiasm and desire to make a difference in someone’s life!
