Are you detail oriented? Would you love to volunteer in an adult learning environment? If this sounds like you, we are looking for a volunteer to assist in the intake and assessment process for prospective Adult Basic Education (ABE)/English as a Second Language (ESL) students.
This is an excellent opportunity to use or develop your organizational and administrative skills while supporting our ABE program in Columbia Heights. On the occasion when only a few people are taking tests, additional office tasks will be available.
A volunteer is needed on Mondays from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. This is a great way to make a difference!

Description
Metro North Adult Basic Education is a well established program, known as a collaborative partner sharing resources and working to find new and innovative ways to meet the needs of our learners. We have been serving a diverse population of adult learners in the north metro communities of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St Paul) for more than 30 years. Metro North ABE is one of the largest consortiums in the state and is recognized as a leader in the best practices in adult basic education.
We are comprised of 8 school districts, providing free classes to adults for learning English, basics in reading, writing and math skills, citizenship, preparation for college placement, GED preparation, diploma, basic computer skills, transitions to post-secondary, and work place readiness. Last year we provided services to over 2000 learners. About half are learning English in our ESL program, and the other half are in basic skills development, GED, and other classes.
Metro North's diversity is not only in its adult learners, its sites are unique in offering urban, suburban, rural and small town settings. Covering the northern part of the Twin Cities, the consortium includes these school districts: Anoka-Hennepin, Brooklyn Center, Centennial, Columbia Heights, Elk River, Fridley, Spring Lake Park and St. Francis.
