Would you like to help someone in your community prepare for their naturalization interview to become a U.S. citizen? Join us at Heartland Alliance!
Heartland works with refugees, immigrants, and asylum-seekers from all over the world. VELT (Vocational Education Language Training) team is specifically looking for volunteers who are available to tutor one-on-one digitally once or twice a week for one or two hours. Volunteers are expected to commit a minimum of 3 months but a longer length of service is very valuable.
We offer free tutor trainings and in-service trainings to all of our volunteers.
Program requirements:
- Complete a volunteer application
- Complete a phone interview
- Attend a virtual Heartland new volunteer orientation on Zoom.
- Complete a free, 12-hour pre-service Tutor Essentials training. This training provides the tools you will need to be a successful English tutor for our participants.
- Observe one Heartland ESL class (virtual or in-person)
- Become a mandated reporter through the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS).
- Must live or work in Illinois per funders guidelines.
- A background check is required.
This project was made possible by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a division of
the Office of Secretary of State, using funds designated for literacy
