Spend 60-90 minutes each week assisting a refugee from a war trorn country, or oppressive government, reach their most desired goal- TO BE A US CITIZEN! Volunteers provide individual, in-home (or virtual) English and civics instruction to help adult students navigate the naturalization process. You do NOT have to speak a language other than English or possess prior teaching experience. The legal residents we serve are unable to benefit from classroom instruction and may not be familiar with US customs and laws. Your involvement will enhance their ability to understand and engage with their new community. Your patience and kindness will help develop the communication skills and self-reliance they need to become citizens. Your dedication to their success will forge long lasting memories of appreciation and esteem for Americans. Our Citizenship Educator matches volunteers and students and provides ongoing mentoring and study materials to both throughout the tutoring process. Many of our students come from countries where education, even in their native language, was not an option. Some of these students may require additional instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL). Most of our students reside in various areas of St. Louis City and County. Their ages range from 20-60. Many of our current students are from African and Middle Eastern countries, but we also have students from Latin America, eastern Europe, and Asia. We currently seek volunteers with knowledge of Swahili, Somali, and Bosnian languages. However, you need not speak a foreign language to tutor many of our students.

Our agency offers citizenship assistance to older adult immigrants and refugees. Volunteer tutors are a key component, by providing one to one tutoring in US civics and history, and for the required personal interview (N400), to individuals unable to access or learn in a traditional classroom setting. Student literacy levels vary, with some also needing basic English instruction. COVID-19 resulted in this assistance being conducted remotely, via phone, zoom , or other video format. This is still an option. We now have students who prefer, and benefit more from IN-PERSON tutoring . Our Citizenship Educator matches tutors with our foreign born students, and mentors them both throughout the process. Printed resource material and reference links are provided to volunteers. Time commitment is approximately one hour/once a week, but can exceed that if mutually agreed upon by both volunteer and student. Days and hours are flexible to accommodate scheduling for both individuals. This is an ongoing opportunity with expectation of a minimum 4-6 month commitment. Currently, we seek Swahili and Somali speakers to tutor African refugees with minimal English proficiency. Bosnian, Vietnamese and Chinese speakers also are desired. For other students, volunteers need not know a foreign language. Desired skills/background: Teaching/tutoring, ESL, older adults; immigrants/refugees; mental health. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a significant difference in the life of an individual striving to attain US Citizenship! Prefer individuals with Missouri residency.
