    Description

    We hold English classes for immigrants every Tuesday and Thursday evening, with a regular attendance of 45-60 students per night. We are looking for an outgoing, positive person to greet students as they come in, to make them feel welcome, and to help with various tasks that come up every evening, including socializing with students during their break from 7-7:15 PM. This person would be with us from 5:30 till 8 PM (to say goodnight as folks leave) or if they need to leave earlier that's fine. Spanish speakers will feel right at home but the main thing is to make the students feel at home, and that doesn't require a second language!
