To showcase the important contributions of immigrants to our economy and community, The Immigrant Learning Center has created a series of video interviews with immigrant entrepreneurs, available on our website at: http://www.ilctr.org/promoting-immigrants/video-interviews.
We are seeking volunteers to write captions for these videos in order to make them accessible to the widest possible audience. This is a great opportunity for those who care about immigration, entrepreneurship and/or accessibilty.
The work can be conducted at your own pace remotely or on-site at our office in Malden, MA. Familiarity with YouTube is a must. Creators with experience captioning videos on YouTube are ideal.
If interested, contact The Immigrant Learning Center Director of Communications Karen Glover at kglover@ilctr.org.

About The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc.
Location:
442 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, US
Mission Statement
Founded in 1992, The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc. (ILC) is a year-round, not-for-profit adult education center located in Malden, Massachusetts, six miles north of Boston. Its mission is to give immigrants a voice in three ways: provide free English classes to immigrant and refugee adults in Eastern Massachusetts, inform Americans about immigrants and immigration in the United States, and support research that demonstrates the economic and social benefits of immigration.
Description
The ILC serves more than 900 students each year with six levels of intensive English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes. By improving their English skills, ILC students achieve goals such as finding a job, entering college, starting a business, becoming a U.S. citizen and more. To help students achieve their goals, The ILC also offers specialty classes such as citizenship exam preparation, computer literacy, family literacy (parenting-related English lessons), a theater class where students write and perform plays about their immigrant experiences and job and education counseling.
The ILC further supports immigrants through its Public Education Institute, which inform Americans about immigrants and immigration in the United States. The Institute uses a research-based approach to create reports, articles, presentations and conferences for researchers, educators, policy makers, media and the general public. In 2010, it launched an Immigrant Research and Information website ( http:www.immigrationresearch-info.org/) to provide easy access to comprehensive research about U.S. immigrants.
