English Learning Center Program
Looking for a way to travel the world without leaving your hometown?
Come down to the English Learning Center and teach our students,
who come from over 20 countries — every continent except Antarctica.
No experience necessary! Lead a whole class of students learning English…tutor some computer or math students…
or help a new immigrant learn about U.S. history and politics so they can become a citizen. Classes are held both mornings and evenings — exact schedule depends on volunteer position.

On the surface I help people balance their check book, understand their child's math assignments, and ensure they can calculate simple financial transactions. But what I really do, what all tutors at the English Learning Center really do, is act as a guide. We guide people across a cultural bridge to a place very different from the one they have known their entire life. And though we ask nothing in return for our contribution to their journey, they pay us by giving us a better understanding of their culture and who they are. |

If we're going to serve, we should do it year around. You don't just care about someone once a year.
