Kindred Spirit #2.1: JP's links - Don't build fences!! Teach English!!

This one's old but that's ok there's still good information here -- Don't build fences!! Teach English!!

"The English as a Second Language program in Gaithersburg has an urgent need for volunteer instructors for the nine-week cycle beginning Tuesday, April 18 (two days ago). No experience is required and you need only commit to one evening for 2 hours per week or Saturdays for 3 hours (you can teach additional sessions if you wish.) Classes are at local Gaithersburg schools on Monday through Friday, 6:30 to 8:30 PM and Saturdays 10 AM to 1 PM. As a bonus, volunteer instructors are invited to attend Spanish classes at no charge.

The majority of the students' native language is Spanish but others including Asian and African are also represented. The only requirements for instructors are a strong English, interpersonal and communication skills and a desire to do something worthwhile for the community. Previous foreign language training would no doubt be helpful but is not required. All instructional materials are provided, and the students are issued books, workbooks and audio tapes.

Please note this is not a religious program and the curricula are entirely non-sectarian. It is a genuine equal opportunity for students and staff of all ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds.

If you are interested please contact the Program Director, Ms. Diana Tato, for more details at 301-417-9113, from noon until 9 PM Monday through Friday. Email: Tato@centrocatolico.org."
