Fiberworks Childcare Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Do you love working with children?

Do you want to join a supportive network of women who are working to improve
their English skills and artistic abilities?

Then become a volunteer at Americana Community Center and help watch children
while their mothers improve their English while working on fiber arts projects that
supplement their income!

Americana Community Center’s Fiberworks program is designed to support the positive integration of refugee and immigrant women into the Louisville community by learning and sharing artistic skills, expanding literacy skills, exploring US culture, and developing social networks. Women in the program meet three times a week to learn and practice English while working on a fiber project. Americana Fiberworks classes teach English in the context of fiber arts--mostly sewing and crocheting. Participants gain practical skills, learn
English, and sell the products they make.

To fully utilize the program, the women must be able to focus their attention on
what they are learning, creating the need for childcare providers during the meetings.

Fiberworks meets every Monday and Friday from 12:30p.m. - 3:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10a.m. - 1p.m.

If you are interested in becoming a childcare provider for our Fiberworks Program please email the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteering@americanacc.org or call (502) 366-7813.
