8th & College Connections offer English classes to an almost-entirely Spanish-speaking community two evenings a week-- Tuesdays and Thursdays-- from 6:00-8:00 p.m. These classes are community-based, volunteer-run, and a great place to practice your Spanish while teaching English. To keep our program going, we are looking for volunteer English teachers who can commit to leading an upper-level class independently until the end of May. No Spanish knowledge is necessary, however, if you would like to practice or even start to learn, this is a great chance to do it. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, get in touch! We would love to hear from you.

Mission Statement
Eighth & College Connections, together with our River Bend neighborhood, seeks to create community in our extremely diverse neighborhood by generating, promoting and supporting programs and projects that bring together people of different ethnic racial, religious and language backgrounds, of varying ages, economic backgrounds, sexual orientations and any other differences which divide us. The ELL program, a project of Eighth & College Connections, is a multicultural, multilingual community that welcomes all people who wish to expand their English skills and form friendships across social barriers in order to enrich their lives and help shape a deeper and more welcoming community.
Description
Our primary project is English classes in four levels for immigrant and refugee adults, with a free childcare program to allow parents with children to attend. We emphasize relationship building between volunteers and students. We also have a community garden project and collaborate on a prison van project to enable neighbors to visit relatives and loved ones in distant state prisons.
