We are looking for individuals who can teach a basic and/or intermediate level computer training class for adult students. The Basic course includes: introduction to the computer, introduction to Windows, and Introduction to the Internet. The Intermediate course goes into computer communication, such as use of emails, social networks and Google Hangouts; introduction to Microsoft Word and Introduction to Excel. Outlines for each course are available. We offer classes in English and in Spanish so are in need of both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking volunteers.
Classes can be given in the morning, afternoon, and/or evening. Class capacity is 8 students. We are hoping we can offer classes from March through June. If this isn't possible, we are looking for volunteers to begin in mid-September and be able to teach until the end of May/beginning of June, whichever allows for 30 weeks of instruction, with classes being held twice a week for an hour-and-a-half. Prior teaching experience would be preferred.

Mission Statement
The Bernardine Franciscan Sisters, committed to their call to live the Gospel, established the Mother Veronica Resource Center in response to requests for assistance from Reading area immigrants. By providing various classes, tutoring and educational and social services resources for them and for all Reading area adults who come seeking a better way forward, the Center strives to improve the quality of their lives and enhance our community.
Description
History: In 1894 four Bernardine Franciscan Sisters migrated from Poland to the United States with Mother Veronica Grzedowska as the leader of the group. They were immigrants coming to a new country to work with and for other immigrants. Reading, PA was where they established their first permanent home and ministry. Throughout the years, the Sisters have cared for and responded to the requests of people in many countries and cultures. It is in this spirit that they established the Mother Veronica Resource Center in response to the requests of newcomers to our community.
