Honoring Burlington Volunteers During National Volunteer Week

Press release via English at Large

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.

Volunteer Appreciation Week is our opportunity to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts and community spirit of those who take action to support our immigrant neighbors and friends. We celebrate the service and impact of our volunteer Tutors, Conversation Group Facilitators, Beginner English Teachers, Intake Assessors, Office and Support Volunteers, and Members of our Board and Committees. Your efforts, as EAL volunteers, help make our world a better place. Thank you!

We invite the Burlington community to join us in acknowledging the efforts of these wonderful volunteers:
