  • 25 people are interested

Do you have a passion for increasing awareness about the contributions of immigrants? Do you have video editing skills? Do you want to use your talents to help build understanding and community? You would be a perfect video editor volunteer!

The Video Editor Volunteer’s main role is edit the raw footage to create short finished video narratives. We need your help to turn webinar recordings into on-demand training sessions for teachers looking to support immigrant students in their class or teach about immigrants in United States History.

The time commitment is flexible, and you may choose to work on projects as they arise, rather than committing to a certain number of hours per week. Volunteers work remotely, and must be able to communicate well via phone and email. The ILC Public Education Institute will provide a reference letter upon completion of projects, and offer ongoing support and supervision.

We look forward to having you as a part of our team!

About The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc.

Location:

442 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, US

Mission Statement

Founded in 1992, The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc. (ILC) is a year-round, not-for-profit adult education center located in Malden, Massachusetts, six miles north of Boston. Its mission is to give immigrants a voice in three ways: provide free English classes to immigrant and refugee adults in Eastern Massachusetts, inform Americans about immigrants and immigration in the United States, and support research that demonstrates the economic and social benefits of immigration.

Description

The ILC serves more than 900 students each year with six levels of intensive English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes. By improving their English skills, ILC students achieve goals such as finding a job, entering college, starting a business, becoming a U.S. citizen and more. To help students achieve their goals, The ILC also offers specialty classes such as citizenship exam preparation, computer literacy, family literacy (parenting-related English lessons), a theater class where students write and perform plays about their immigrant experiences and job and education counseling.

The ILC further supports immigrants through its Public Education Institute, which inform Americans about immigrants and immigration in the United States. The Institute uses a research-based approach to create reports, articles, presentations and conferences for researchers, educators, policy makers, media and the general public. In 2010, it launched an Immigrant Research and Information website ( http:www.immigrationresearch-info.org/) to provide easy access to comprehensive research about U.S. immigrants.
