My friend Claudia (of
Jug Band fame) works for the
English Learning Center and she's looking for
some volunteers to teach basic math and computer skills to immigrants and
refugees. Here's her pitch:
Looking to give back to the community in 2008? The English Learning Center is currently looking for volunteers to lead basic math and computer classes for adult immigrants and refugees in South Minneapolis.
Time commitment is 1-2 hours, one evening a week M-Th. No teaching experience is necessary. Curriculum, materials, training, and support provided by ELC staff. All classes are volunteer-taught. This opportunity is a great way to connect with the international community while using your skills to make a difference in the lives of the newest Minnesota residents.
Please contact Claudia Holt for more details. claudia@englishlc.org, 612-874-9963 ext 2.
The English Learning Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, has been serving the immigrant and refugee populations of the Phillips Neighborhood since 1981. They are a member of the Minneapolis Public Schools Adult Basic Education Consortium.
