About the opportunity
This program provides in-person English classes for new New Yorkers. Classes are hosted at community organizations, schools, and shelters across the city.
Volunteers will use the We Speak NYC curriculum which provides civic-focused multimedia resources created to empower adult immigrants through learning and practicing everyday English.
The curriculum centers on an Emmy-Award winning educational drama series that informs learners about important New York City resources. The episodes address issues that most concern immigrants and asylum seekers such as health care, democracy, education, immigration legal help, elder care, and managing finances.
Previous teaching experience is welcomed but not required!
