SEA Literacy is an organization that helps refugee students in Milwaukee to be more fluent in English and provides resources to succeed. We directly serve students ranging from 6th Grade through College. As a volunteer with our organization, your primary focus will be assisting students with homework, ESL(English as a second language) activities, and developing social skills. Our students range from age 12 to 23, so there is opportunity to work with students of all ages. Our sessions are Tuesdays 6-8pm and Saturdays 10am-noon at the Neighborhood House in Milwaukee. You can choose which day you would like to volunteer or choose to volunteer on both days if you would like. We love to see the Milwaukee community volunteer their special skills to help brighten the future of refugees in the area.

Enjoy working with kids ages 5 - 8 years old in our special youth room! Their big smiles and bigger hearts will warm your soul. These are refugee children who have varying levels of English and come from different places around the world. They are all united in one aspect: as refugees, they fled their homelands in hope of safety. Most of the kids have parents or siblings who are receiving tutoring at the same time, either in ESL or with schoolwork. Please help these children improve their English literacy and fluency in English--in most cases, their parents are not able to read to them or help with homework. One favorite book is Brown Bear--the children know every word. Besides reading, me is also spent playing with toys and trying to speak English as much as possible. Most of these children do not practice English at home. We have volunteers ranging from fifth grade to high school, college, and all ages of life. Our program has a number of families that volunteer together, too! It is wonderful to see young volunteers reading and making peer-to-peer connections with our students. Our Program meets: Tuesdays 6:00 - 8:00pm Saturdays 10:00am - noon We have Facebook (SEA Literacy), Twitter and Instagram (@SEALmke)!
