If you're looking to gain leadership experience for a class, a job, to make your resume look better, or to improve your own skills, we can help!
SEA Literacy works with refugee children to help them become more fluent in English. We do this by reading books, peer-to-peer learning/mentoring, and teaching skills like robotics, programming, singing and dancing.
We have volunteers ranging from fifth grade to high school, college, and all ages of life. Our program has a number of families that volunteer together, too! We have high school volunteers that are leading programs, like robotics. If you are scheduling yourself on our site (access given after first day of tutoring), are punctual to sessions, and are engaged in your duties, we would be very happy to write a letter of recommendation or be a source for a referral.

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!
