Help Teach English to Mandarin Chinese Speakers

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: The Salvation Army - Bensonhurst

  • 12 people are interested

A growing number of Mandarin Chinese-speaking women living in Brooklyn have a desire to learn English. Struggling to communicate in the native language where they live makes it extremely difficult to achieve healthy independence and greatly limits their ability to navigate supportive services and seek job opportunities. If you are fluent in both languages and want to empower women to achieve freedom from the isolation caused by communicational barriers, please email your interest and availability to Jennifer Groff, Community Engagement Director, at jgroff@use.salvationarmy.org.
