Austin’s Manos de Cristo in partnership with the U.S. government and Catholic Charities of Central Texas is about to start a new round of online citizenship classes. We’re looking for some passionate people to volunteer as teaching assistants for these important classes.
For many immigrants, the decision to become a U.S. citizen can be one of the biggest decisions in a person’s life. But it’s fraught with difficulties, from the cost of filing fees and navigating the various bureaucratic processes to the simple problem of not understanding the interviewer. You can help make the complex process a little simpler for people.
If you’re looking for a way to help immigrants, gain teaching experience, or just meet wonderful new people in your community, we would love to have you as a volunteer once or twice a week! Some teaching experience, especially adult English as a Second Language, basic education, or citizenship, is preferred but not required. Our Online classes will run from July 6th to August 26th; we ask that volunteers commit to the entire semester if possible.
Though our partnership is with the Catholic Charities, you do not need to be affiliated with any particular religious group to work with us.
We are looking for volunteers for four different classes in AM and PM schedules.
