Whether you know what you'd like to do, or you're looking for ways to volunteer but haven't found an opportunity that matches your interest, thank you for checking out our posting!
This is an organization that helps refugee students in Milwaukee to be more fluent in English and provide resources to succeed. We directly serve students ranging from first grade through college.
We also provide resources for families from (specifically but not limited to) Southeast Asia. This includes material assistance like clothing for families that are in poverty or new arrivals, and other diverse areas of assistance wherever opportunities are identified.
We would love to see the Milwaukee community volunteer their special skills to help brighten the future of refugees in the area. This is an open invitation to you as an interested volunteer to reach out to us and let us know how you would like to help!
Thank you

Mission Statement
SEA Literacy uplifts the lives of refugee students in the Milwaukee area by empowering them to become engaged members of this diverse, dynamic community. Our goal is to foster social and educational development, thus creating community leaders and inspiring future generations. We are also committed to providing the Milwaukee community the opportunity to reach out to their new neighbors and strengthen harmony in our city!
Description
SEA Literacy (SEAL) provides year-round ESL lessons, homework tutoring, and recreational activities to refugee youth grades kindergarten through college. We meet on Tuesday evenings 6-8 pm and Saturdays mornings 10 am- 12 and we also go on field trips and have special events throughout the year. Children in this program attend by choice; they want to learn because they want to learn English, do better in the classroom and meet other kids. This is an advantage of volunteering here; you can see immediate improvement! SEAL focuses on helping refugee students, who have been in the US anywhere from a month to a few years, to help them be more fluent in English and more connected with peers and society. As a volunteer you will be helping the students read, learn and speak English, play games, work on STEM or art projects and/or assist them in doing their homework. If you have a skill you can teach (kids LOVE chess but need teachers, some taught knitting, etc.) we would love to work with you!
