Volunteer Roles

ESOL Tutor (English for Speaking of Other Languages)

These tutors serve immigrant adults who want to learn English and / or prepare for the US Naturalization Exam. Tutors fill out a profile of their availability and interests so that we can match them up with a student who has similar needs. There is structured curriculum, trainings and periodic enrichments.

Other Ways to Volunteer

There may be shorter commitments - please reach out and let’s see where your skills and support may be a fit.

Tutor Training

Tutor training is immediately following Volunteer Orientation and lasts until 12:00pm. During training, new tutors will learn how to tutor someone who speaks another language, best practices, curriculum and reporting overview and procedures.
