BURLINGTON, MA — English at Large (EAL) is a nonprofit organization that helps adult immigrants gain greater understanding of the English language and U.S. culture through personalized instructional programs designed to support their highest aspirations. Our learners benefit from a large network of volunteers and community partners in Greater Boston committed to their success.
During this past year, 130 local people have provided over 6,000 hours of service to support their adult learners, our organization, and our staff. We are proud of their dedication and community spirit, which has made a difference in the lives of nearly 300 local immigrants across our 24-community service area.
