As part of our education and employment programs for refugees, we offer English as a Second Language classes with local affiliates. However, it is not always possible for refugees to attend these classes due to transportation issues, lack of childcare, or other circumstances. By becoming an ESL mentor, you can help remove these barriers and assist refugees, secondary migrants, and immigrants with acculturation to Lincoln and the English language. ESL mentors act as a teacher, advocate, and friend. Contact is weekly, coordinated between the volunteer and the client. Assessment of student is conducted to determine skill level and training is available for volunteers. Experience working in an ESL setting is helpful but not required. No bilingual skills are necessary.
Requirements: Potential volunteers must pass a criminal background check.
