Partners in English Language Learning is a non-profit organization that has been teaching adult English Language Learners in our region with 40 to 50 trained volunteer tutors for more than 30 years. ESL is a widely used term meaning English as a Second Language. We match each learner with a personal tutor, and together they determine hours and location that are mutually agreeable. The tutoring is always free. While the most visible volunteer role with PiELL is tutoring an English Language Learner, there are many other areas where your efforts can benefit our organization. Grant writer: A handful of grants represent a large portion of PiELL's revenue. Most grants are relatively "boiler-plate", in that grant requests from prior years can be used as a template, updated with current data and verbiage. While most grants are from repeat sources, targeting additional grant partners would be ideal. Time estimate is 20-30 hours per quarter.

Volunteers should live in the local community, western Nevada County, California.
