English for Speakers of Other Languages

Empowering Immigrants Through Communication

Using themes of Education and Goals, Jobs, Housing and Community, Financial Literacy, Health and Wellness, and Civics, The Welcome Project introduces students to community resources, the nuances of a new culture, and opportunities to engage in the civic life of the city while developing English skills. 

Classes are full for this semester. More space will be available in January.

Student Experience

"As my first educational experience in the United States, I am grateful for my English class. It was a warm welcome to a great place. It has helped me to build communications and helped me with my English language.
​
A huge thank you goes to the “Welcome Project” and my teachers who helped me further achieve my academic goals here in the United States. Still today I continue to look for work on my field. Thank you from bottom of my heart, for your trust and hard work for helping me."

​- Level 4 ESOL Student
