English as a Second Language
Description
Provides language support through practical, conversational English language instruction at accessible times and locations, including the Hope Refugee Drop-In Center and local libraries. Small learning groups are also hosted at students' homes, co-taught by a pair of volunteers. Classes take place multiple times a week and cover a number of conversational, English "life skills" topics identified by the students themselves. Citizenship and literacy classes are offered for individuals who cannot read and write in their first language or in English.
