Description:
Visit a refugee family, weekly, in their home to provide English language instruction and tutoring. Volunteers work one-on-one with a refugee mother or father, in the family's home, providing English language tutoring and also serving as a crucial link to American culture. Improving English skills is an important step in a refugee family's path to self-sufficiency. RFS provides orientation, training, and resources.
Weekly visits are scheduled at the convenience of the tutor and family
Volunteer orientations are required. The Family Literacy Program requires a 3 month commitment, once a week, for 1-2 hours. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. All volunteers must consent to a background check.
