Have you always been interested in teaching ESL, but don't have experience? This is a great place to start. We will provide you with instruction, encouragement and an enthusiastic small group of students.
You can be a positive influence in bridging communication barriers? Volunteer to lead an English class for seniors living at Satellite Central in downtown Oakland! We are looking for a volunteer to assist one day a week for an hour. SAHA serves a very diverse demographic of seniors in the East Bay, a large percentage of which have limited English-speaking proficiency. The volunteer will work with residents who are eagerly seeking accessible English instruction to learn how to communicate in emergencies, converse with doctors and health care providers, and interact with others in everyday conversation. They are enthusiastic and greatly appreciate their ESL instructors.
Interested but don't have any experience? we can provide instruction!
If you're looking to make a difference in your community, this is a wonderful opportunity to gain teaching experience with students who are eager to learn.
There is flexibility in scheduling, but all classes must take place Monday-Friday between the hours of 9:00 Am and 5:00 PM.
