A grasp of the English language is critical to achieving self-sufficiency in the U.S., especially in the workplace. Volunteers are needed to work with refugees one-on-one or in small groups to improve their English literacy and speech skills. They are encouraged to create a dynamic learning environment that incorporates audiovisual materials and practice exercises at our agency's site, or they may offer their services at the client's home, depending on an agreement between the tutor and the student. This is a rewarding position that heeds tutors' reliability and cultural sensitivity. Volunteers must commit at least twice per week for a minimum 3-month service.

Description
EMM Miami has been serving refugees in South Florida since 1980. The agency provides services for newly arrived refugees to help put down roots in their first months in the new community.
