Seattle Public Library: Immigrant and Refugee Conversation Partner

Join one of our informal, English Conversation Circles (ECC) at various Seattle Public Library (SPL) locations or online. These programs provide immigrants and refugees the opportunity to practice conversational English in an informal environment. Conversation Partners help lead fun, small-group discussions on various topics that volunteers help plan in advance and work with English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) adults of all skill levels. Develop cross-cultural friendships and learn new skills while making a difference in your community!

Good verbal communication and interpersonal skills in a diverse environment are desired. ECC's are held in-person at the Literacy Source center, Beacon Hill, Delridge and Northgate branches, and online circles at the Literacy Source center and the Central branches of the SPL.

Bilingualism and/or experience working with adult immigrants and/or refugees is a plus.

Training and support will be provided.

Literacy Source is an equal opportunity employer working towards a culturally diverse workplace. We strongly encourage applications from the BIPOC community, immigrants, refugees, women, people with disabilities, members of the LBGTQ community and other underrepresented and historically marginalized groups.
