ESL Classes

Our ESL classes are designed to help refugees and immigrants improve their English proficiency. We offer tailored lessons focusing on conversation, reading, and writing skills to facilitate integration into the community and enhance job opportunities.

Volunteers Needed: We are seeking several volunteers to lead one-on-one ESL and citizenship classes via Zoom or WhatsApp, or In-Person; as we have a growing number of adults eager to improve their English skills. These flexible, one-hour sessions can be scheduled based on your availability and take place from the comfort of your home. If you’re gifted in teaching and willing to serve, we’d love to hear from you. For more information, contact Patty Dyer at ESL@newhopeconnection.org.
