ESL Tutor for Group Home Youth

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: LifeTies, Inc.

  • 4 people are interested

LifeTies is currently seeking two ESL tutors to work on a one-on-one basis with Spanish speaking youth in each of our Group Homes (Rainbow House and Triad House). Ideally the tutor will work with the youth about one hour a week. Preferred scheduling will be late afternoon / early evening at a mutually convenient day and time.

LifeTies has a 40 year legacy of serving special populations of youth who have experienced complex trauma and have additional layers of challenges. We work with youth who:
- identify as LGBTQ+
- are pregnant and parenting
- are homeless
- are involved in the juvenile justice system
- are chronically absent from school
- have behavioral health and/or mental health challenges
- have experienced abuse or neglect
- are involved with the child welfare system

LifeTies established the first group home in the country, Rainbow House, in 1991 which focused on young mothers and their babies infected with HIV+/AIDS. Rainbow House currently serves pregnant and parenting youth as well as those with chronic health issues such as diabetes, asthma, lupus, etc.

Triad House was the first group home in New Jersey to focus on working with youth from the child welfare system who identify as LGBTQ+. Both of the group homes are located in Mercer County, but receive referrals from counties throughout the state. We provide the youth with intensive individual and group counseling, life skills, educational support, job searching skills, and family engagement services.
