Sacramento ESL Program teaches English as a second language to adults in the greater Sacramento area who come from around the world. They need tutors, teachers, teachers aides, and materials for their classes. SESL Program also needs to pay rent, buy books, purchase a new testing system to provide quality pre- and post-tests for each student, get the classroom access to WIFI, and many other things. Several members of the board are on a Grant Committee and will be working with our new Grant Writer.
We are seeking a grant writer who:
1. Lives locally;
2. Has experience and/or training in Grant Writing;
3. Has written grants with successful, measurable outcomes;
4. Will do research and find grant opportunities for us to apply for.
In the past we were unable to show grantors that we are sustainable, so that has become a major item in our list of priorities.
Please email Margo Sterling and give us an idea of what you have done. If you have only a little experience but love writing grants and want to grow with us, we welcome you. Please let us know more about you.

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.
