This class serves a substantial number of Somali women who are eager to better their English abilities. This class is attended by around 20 women each session. Class meets once every two weeks; class starts at 11 AM, ends at 1 PM, and there is always a socializing session afterwards with food and tea provided by community leaders.
There are currently four amazing volunteers that serve this class. We are looking to grow our team, though, in order to provide the most supportive and beneficial class sessions to our students as possible. All teaching and student materials are provided by us, the Refugee Education and Training Center (RETC). We just ask that volunteers are willing to communicate efficiently and effectively, come to class prepared, and actively participate in the constant effort to improve our practices.
Thank you so much for your interest in our program! These women and the volunteers that are with this program have fostered a truly amazing environment, and I hope to soon welcome new members of the team.

Mission Statement
The Utah Refugee Center serves two purposes: to foster opportunities for refugees to access family-sustaining employment, and to support refugee communities’ efforts to find appropriate solutions towards integration.
Description
As part of the Department of Workforce Service, the Utah Refugee Center offers employment, intake, and program services to assist refugees in Salt Lake City with their integration journey. We serve as a hub that offers commonly needed services such as job search assistance, ESL, citizenship preparation, and basic computer skills. We also leverage skill-based volunteerism as well as targeted in-kind and financial donations to provide free trainings and programs for adults and youth with interests ranging from I.T. and computer programming to leadership and public speaking to sewing and product development. If you are interested in serving your local refugee community, we have an opportunity for you!
