- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in teaching our Citizenship class held at Trinity United Methodist Church. We would like a Teacher, possibly a Teacher's assistant, and a few back up Teachers in case a Teacher cannot make a class.
We have students signed up and would like to start classes October 3rd.
The schedule would be 8 weeks long, every Monday from 6-7pm
Ideal candidate(s) would help student's with the following:
- Learn about U.S. history, government, and civics principles as well as the basic rights of Americans
- Discuss the naturalization process and forms
- Join a relaxed, friendly group of learners and meet others in the community
There is a wonderful, friendly, welcoming community here. The community here helps to provide a positive and mutually benefical experience between teachers, students, staff, community members, members of Trinity, and other members of staff. Trinity is a culturally diverse location which houses and hosts 2 different nonprofit organizations, programs, and community functions. Everyone here works together to serve the community.
