Do you love to work with people? Are you interested in working with folks from many different walks of life? Are you passionate about education? You're in luck! Lyndale's Adult Education Program is the place for you!
The Lyndale Education program serves adult students in the Lyndale and surrounding neighborhoods. The purpose of the program is to provide high-quality English language instruction and to help students become more connected to the community.
The Volunteer Teacher’s role is to lead small groups of adult ESL students according to a pre-set curriculum. Volunteer Teachers also vitally contribute to the creation of a respectful, engaging, and supportive learning environment for adult students who are motivated to improve their proficiency in English speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
