If you know English, you can teach English to one of the 30 adults who want to learn. Volunteers do not need a teaching background or a second language to help. The workshop provides material and instruction so anyone can be successful.

Each volunteer will be matched with one adult learner. Volunteer tutors and their students meet for one hour each week at a time and public location that is convenient. Students say that the best volunteers are patient, listen, and give practical information.
