We are looking for a volunteer who is willing to work in the Arlington community to teach how to knitt to beginner Spanish-speaking adults in the Buckingham Gardens neighborhood. The classes would meet once a week for about an hour in the Afternnoon or evenings on weekdays.
Classes would meet in the César Chávez Community Center in Buckingham Gardens, a few minutes from Ballston Mall. We have a community room available for use and supplies will be provided.
We expect you to be committed to plan and teach weekly, ongoing classes and let us/students know ahead of time when class may be cancelled. We would like to set up a brief meeting of introduction before you start teaching.
We need working knowledge of Spanish since most of our students are non-engslish speakers.

Description
BU-GATA, short for Buckingham and Gates of Arlington , was established by Latino renters in 1992.
BU-GATA was created to stop displacement from a neighborhood multi-family complex, the Gates of Arlington. As the organization grew stronger, residents began to broaden BU-GATA’s focus to include community stability, and in 1998, addressed another neighborhood need - youth leadership development - by creating the Buckingham Youth Brigade.
As a community-based non-profit, BU-GATA has focused on defending tenants, educating residents about their rights, and fighting to preserve the community when gentrification threatens.
BU-GATA's mission is to serve Arlington's low-income, immigrant communities through education and leadership development programs, focusing on education and civic engagement in public policy issues.
