Main Library

Oakland's Main Library is looking for a volunteer to help with its weekly Conversation Club for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. This volunteer will promote the club to ESL learners in our community, and -- as needed -- will help with facilitation of the club. The ESL club will meet each Saturday, 1:00-2:00, starting in November.

We seek a volunteer (age 18 or older) who is outgoing, personable, and able to relate to people from diverse backgrounds. You should be able to communicate and listen effectively. Bi/multilingual abilities not required, but a plus.

The time commitment is one hour per week (Saturdays, 1:00-2:00 p.m.) plus outreach (timing of this is flexible), for a minimum of six months.
