Volunteering and Careers at 
​The Welcome Project

Making a Difference in Our Community

Volunteer as a Community Teacher

​The Welcome Project seeks community-based volunteer teachers to teach, co-teach, or assist with an ESOL class. Volunteer teachers spend between 3 to 5 hours in a classroom a week, teaching from a student-centered curriculum focused on immigrant advocacy and developing multilingual skills. Teachers are supported with monthly professional development trainings (25 hours over the course of the year), classroom observations, and one-on-one guidance with the Director of Multilingual Education. 

Our volunteer teacher program is taught through a pedagogy of popular education. We believe that all community members can take an active role in teaching and learning. Both novice and experienced teachers are welcomed and invited to join us in advocating for the rights of our community. 

If interested, please sign up on the form below!

Volunteer as a Community ESOL Tutor

​The Welcome Project seeks community-based ESOL tutors to support multilingual students in their linguistic goals.  As a one-on-one tutor, you will work individually with your assigned student to support their specific educational needs. Every partnership is unique. Some students are looking to develop or improve certain skills, such as writing or conversation, while others may need support with specific projects, such as filling out job applications or pre-literate reading support. 

​
Most tutoring occurs for 1 to 2 hours once a week for at least a 4 month period. Volunteer tutors and their students are welcome to meet at The Welcome Project, online, or at a free public space (such as the public library or a city park). 

If interested, please sign up on the form below!​
