Individual Volunteer Opportunities
Youth Mentorship
Youth mentors ensure school-age refugee youth (ages 5-14) get high-quality and comprehensive academic, social-emotional support that is culturally and linguistically sensitive. Youth Mentorship is a semester-long commitment.
Childcare
Childcare volunteers provide culturally sensitive care for refugee and immigrant children while their caregivers attend on of our adult English classes. Classes are held mornings (10am-12pm) and evenings (6pm-8pm) at various locations across the city.
Career Mentorship
Join the mentorship database! Career mentors act as a resource for new Americans who are wanting to advance their career. Mentors will offer guidance on certification and licensure and offer networking opportunities to mentees. NOTE: Joining the mentorship database does not guarantee a match with a mentee as it is dependent on the career interests of our current clients.
Group Volunteer Opportunities
Community Conversation Class
At the end of every English unit, the Adult Education Program hosts a conversation class aimed at providing English students the opportunity to practice English in small groups or one-on-one settings. Each class is facilitated by a trained ESL instructor who will guide volunteers and students through activities and conversation prompts. Classes can accommodate 10-25 volunteers at each of our sites.
