Goodwill Volunteer Opportunity! Help Immigrant and Refugee Adults Working to Learn English in the North Side of Pittsburgh!!

Goodwill of Southwestern PA is looking for individuals who enjoy helping others to make an impact in the adult learning community by assisting instructors in the Northside classroom, Northside Common Ministries, 1601 Brighton Road Pittsburgh PA 15212.

Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to Ashley. You will fill out an application and schedule a time to meet with me, virtually or in-person, to discuss our program and the specific role you would fill, as well as the next steps of the onboarding process, including how to get your free background checks and how to complete the initial training. Having a background in English as a Second Language teaching could help but isn't required. Having a background as a K-12 reading instructor could also certainly help, though not required. If you're interested, but do not have any teaching experience, please still feel free to reach out. If you feel comfortable teaching other adults and would be comfortable working with adult English Language Learners even without any personal teaching background, please reach out!

Volunteers must have their high school diploma or high school equivalency and a desire to help adult students achieve their educational goals! Postsecondary trainings and degrees are nice, but not a requirement. We will train you. Those interested can reply to this listing or if you have any questions, please contact Ashley Reilly, Education Volunteer Coordinator by text at 412-498-0412 or by email at ashley.reilly@goodwillswpa.org
