Metro North Adult Basic Education serves 4,000 students a year at our eight sites. Students come to us because they want to get a better job, learn English or be able to help their children with homework. When they walk in the door for the first time, we want to make sure they feel like this is a place that can help them fill their dreams.
We are looking for those exceptional people who can make anyone feel at home. Are comfortable giving directions and following procedures, and make people want to come back for more.
Intake volunteers will greet students when they first come, use a standardized testing process to assess their level of English ability, help them fill out paperwork, and make sure they know this is a great school that will provide the classes they want.
If you feel like you could be the first person to make the biggest difference in students' lives, we have volunteer positions available for you.

Description
Metro North Adult Basic Education is a well established program, known as a collaborative partner sharing resources and working to find new and innovative ways to meet the needs of our learners. We have been serving a diverse population of adult learners in the north metro communities of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St Paul) for more than 30 years. Metro North ABE is one of the largest consortiums in the state and is recognized as a leader in the best practices in adult basic education.
We are comprised of 8 school districts, providing free classes to adults for learning English, basics in reading, writing and math skills, citizenship, preparation for college placement, GED preparation, diploma, basic computer skills, transitions to post-secondary, and work place readiness. Last year we provided services to over 2000 learners. About half are learning English in our ESL program, and the other half are in basic skills development, GED, and other classes.
Metro North's diversity is not only in its adult learners, its sites are unique in offering urban, suburban, rural and small town settings. Covering the northern part of the Twin Cities, the consortium includes these school districts: Anoka-Hennepin, Brooklyn Center, Centennial, Columbia Heights, Elk River, Fridley, Spring Lake Park and St. Francis.
