Description
Do you want to make a difference in another person's life? Join our team of volunteers and be a force for good!
We help:
Immigrants who want to learn English to build a life here for themselves and for their families
Americans who didn't graduate high school the first time around, and are now preparing to take their High School Equivalency Tests.
Do you feel overwhelmed at the thought of the tragedies happening around the world, or the volume of families in this country living below the poverty line? All it takes is as little as one hour per week to make a difference! With your consistent and patient presence, you can help an English Language Learner feel comfortable communicating with neighbors and participating in the community or help an Adult Basic Education student get a better job, and be able to read bedtime stories to their kids.
No background in education? No advanced degrees? Don't speak another language? NO PROBLEM! All you need is patience, consistency, and the desire to help. If you're at least 18 years old, fluent in English, and you can commit to at least 1 hour per week for 6 months, we will train you how to tutor and provide all the materials you'll need. Most of our ESL students are just looking for a conversation partner, and most of our ABE students are looking for help with elementary-level math and reading comprehension. All of our students are looking for a "safe" person, who won't judge them for what they don't know, but who will be a consistent, supportive presence in their lives who will applaud their efforts to better themselves and their situations!
