    Description

    English acquisition is not only a prerequisite to citizenship and civic engagement but is critical to improving immigrants’ income, educational attainment, and ability to access health and human services. Helping immigrants learn English is fundamental to advancing immigrant integration.

    RSVP Volunteers will be matched with students in one-on-one, small group settings, or as class aides, assisting ESL Teachers in programs. The volunteers will provide service 1-5 times a week for 1-6 hours until clients graduate from the program.

    RSVP volunteers will be able to connect with and build relationships with other people living in their neighborhoods and relieve social isolation by helping non-English speakers with language barriers.
