If you are an ESL instructor, earning your certification or simply have a passion for education we welcome you to volunteer at East African Community Services’ Adult ESL program.
This informal one-on-one tutoring allows new immigrants and refugees to practice their language skills in a comfortable setting. You will be assisting adult students with their homework or other english assignments.
As a tutor, you’ll form unbreakable bonds and gain experience working in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual community.
