The English Learning Center is a program of Our Saviour's Community Services, a community-based nonprofit. We provide English (ESL), math, citizenship, computer and reading classes, as well as advocacy to adult immigrants and refugees in the Phillips neighborhood of South Minneapolis. Currently the English Learning Center serves nearly 400 adult students each year. It has become a well-known community center for immigrants and refugees from all around the world. We are a volunteer-based organization: over 130 volunteers teach all the program classes.

No prior teaching experience is necessary. We train our volunteers at our site and we also require volunteers to attend a 12-hour tutor training within 90 days of their starting date. Some exceptions to this training apply. A background check for all volunteers is also part of the application process.

For those interested in a career in ESL or adult basic education, volunteering at the ELC is an excellent way to begin or continue gaining experience. For everyone: it is a great way to connect with others in your community!
