This volunteer will lead the Friday session of English Conversation Hour for the summer while our regular volunteer is on hiatus. As the conversation facilitator, the coordinator provides a discussion topic and encourages those who attend to have a turn to speak. There is no attendee registration required and the sessions are free of charge. The setting is informal; attendees sit in chairs and form a circle.

English Conversation Hour is open to all ages and all skill levels; however, primarily adults attend. Many, but not all, have taken English classes and received English tutoring at International House.

Time Commitment: This volunteer role will start Fri., May 29 or a Friday in June. We need to fill this position immediately.

Requirements:

•  Conversational fluency in English
•  A welcoming and friendly attitude
•  Availability June through August 2015
