Description:

Do you have a passion of helping others? Do you want to help people overcome the language barrier? Come join us every Wednesday to teach ESL students/adults speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills. This project is a great way to interact with people from over the world and to learn new things while benefiting the community. The 2nd Wednesday of each month will focus on conversation. Volunteers will have the opportunity to meet and converse with ESL students/adults so they can practice their English with others. Many of these adults will be parents of the children in our Homework Helper project operating at the same time.

Their Mission:  Helping students practice English.
