We offer education classes for our adult refugee clients, most of whom are parents. It takes a couple of weeks after their arrival to Erie to get the kids enrolled in school. If there is no one to take care of the children, this usually leaves the mother at home, not being able to take part in the ESL or Cultural Orientation sessions.
We need 1 or 2 volunteers per shift to help entertain the children so that the parents can learn!
