We appreciate our volunteers!
Volunteers are an integral component of our organization, assisting us with our educational programs in endless ways. Volunteers choose to donate a range of services. We are grateful to the dozens of people each year who join our team and use their skills to support our mission of education.

English Tutor:
Literacy is related to poverty, unemployment, and homelessness. The most common way for volunteers to get involved is as a tutor in the English literacy part of our program. Tutoring is a very rewarding experience. As a tutor, you will help someone improve their life.

Computer Lab Assistant:
The digital divide continues to grow for immigrant population who lack access to computer technology. Work with our computer teacher to assist students with their technology training and narrow the gap of the digital divide.

Language Lab Tutor:
Assist our students in improving their English language skills by volunteering in our computerized language lab where students practice hearing, seeing, and speaking their new language.
