Hi! Sacramento ESL program is a group of educators and other professionals who provide English classes for immigrants and refugees. We are currently looking for a secretary who could commit to attend and take minutes for monthly board meetings as well as be an active part of one of the committees.
The major responsibility is to attend monthly board meetings, usually the first Saturday of each month n(10:00 to 12:30 pm), write the minutes of each meeting and email them to all members of the board by the 15th of each month, and be active on one of the committees.
It would be great if this person had experience as a secretary or administrative assistant with good computer skills in Excel, flyer creation, use of graphics and pictures, etc., but if you are able to write with ease and fluency, that would be acceptable at the beginning. We can always teach you how to use other programs if you need training to help our outreach committee with class and event flyers.
If you are interested, please email Ernestina Madriles at emadriles@earthlink.net She is our Volunteer Coordinator. She will invite you to our next Board meeting where you can meet the board, get a feeling for what we are doing, and become acquainted with the organization.

Mission Statement
Sacramento ESL Program, in collaboration with the community of the Greater Sacramento area, provides adults whose native tongue is not English instruction, resources, technology, opportunities, and tools in an encouraging, positive learning environment where they have the opportunity to acquire necessary basic skills in reading, speaking, and writing English and listening skills and to be empowered to participate more fully in the daily tasks and responsibilities of life in the US. We also provide our adult students with literacy and numeracy skills, skills necessary to become employable, write resumes and other job seeker documents, acquire interview skills, etc. A goal for the future is to provide computer classes where our adult students will be able to learn and improve skills in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Internet, and email as well as specific, basic skills that will help them become job ready and employable.
Description
Founded in 2012 Sacramento ESL Program (SESL) has been slowly growing ever since. In September 2015, we entered into a partnership with Fruit Ridge Community Collaborative in an area of South Sacramento designated a Ground Zero Promise Zone by President Obama where we now have technological capabilities, storage space, and our own furniture for teachers and students. We are holding evening classes there in Beginning to Intermediate Low levels. SESL provides more than 8 hours of ESL instruction per week to adults from all over the world, including Asia, Europe, Africa, and Central and South America. We are looking to expand our program and are seeking volunteers with experience and vision in specific areas of business development and strategy planning.
