Adult students are exceptional learners, many bringing advanced degrees from their home countries. As they embark on further education in a new environment, they often require support with the specialized English language utilized in academic contexts. We are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer who is eager to empower others in their learning journey and can quickly recognize each individual’s strengths.
This virtual volunteer opportunity is designed like a book club, where advanced students will engage with a selected article and then meet as a group to discuss it, asking questions about the language and concepts presented. A teacher will oversee the lessons and readings, while students will read the articles independently. The volunteer will facilitate engaging discussions.
The group will convene virtually once a week in the evening, with the specific time set by the volunteer. Join us in making a meaningful impact on the learning experiences of dedicated students!

Mission Statement
Metro North inspires and challenges all learners to reach their full potential. In a safe and supportive environment, we teach the skills needed to succeed as responsible citizens in our changing world.
Description
Metro North Adult Basic Education is a well established program, known as a collaborative partner sharing resources and working to find new and innovative ways to meet the needs of our learners. We have been serving a diverse population of adult learners in the north metro communities of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St Paul) for more than 30 years. Metro North ABE is one of the largest consortiums in the state and is recognized as a leader in the best practices in adult basic education.
We are comprised of 8 school districts, providing free classes to adults for learning English, basics in reading, writing and math skills, citizenship, preparation for college placement, GED preparation, diploma, basic computer skills, transitions to post-secondary, and work place readiness. Last year we provided services to over 2000 learners. About half are learning English in our ESL program, and the other half are in basic skills development, GED, and other classes.
Metro North's diversity is not only in its adult learners, its sites are unique in offering urban, suburban, rural and small town settings. Covering the northern part of the Twin Cities, the consortium includes these school districts: Anoka-Hennepin, Brooklyn Center, Centennial, Columbia Heights, Elk River, Fridley, Spring Lake Park and St. Francis.
