Overview

At Educational Alliance’s 2Gen: Generations Learning Together, we know that we are stronger together and we can lift each other up through learning, advocacy, and community-building. We provide workshops and individualized coaching in parenting, self-care, English language learning (ESOL), citizenship support, career advancement, and continuing education. We believe that universal education is a necessary building block for strong communities, and that everyone should have the opportunity to lead a fulfilled and joyful life.

We’re looking for volunteers to support our Adult ESOL Program, which provides a rich, immersive curriculum to the MCC community for free. Many of our students could use additional support outside of the classroom setting, and that is where our volunteer tutors can help. You’ll be providing support in reading comprehension, writing and more in small group settings. Volunteers should speak Mandarin, Cantonese or Spanish (currently only in need of Mandarin Volunteers) in addition to English to best communicate and tutor the students. CURRENTLY ONLY NEED SPANISH SPEAKING VOLUNTEER (other spots are filled).
